Archaeological excavations of Pompeii, Archaeological site in Pompei, Italy
The excavated Roman city reveals detailed urban planning with streets, public spaces, private residences, and commercial buildings preserved under volcanic deposits.
The site remained untouched after Mount Vesuvius buried it in 79 AD until its discovery in the 16th century, with systematic excavations beginning in 1748.
The preserved frescoes, mosaics, and architectural elements within the excavated buildings demonstrate the artistic and social practices of Roman society.
The archaeological park provides multiple entrance points with ticket offices, information centers, and guided tour services through designated pathways.
Plaster casting techniques developed here allow visitors to observe the exact positions of Vesuvius victims at their moment of death.
