Pompeii: Guided Tour

The Ruins of Pompeii are one of the most important and impressive archaeological sites in the world. Buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D., the city was preserved under ashes and pumice stone, which has made it possible to preserve streets, houses, frescoes, baths, temples and public spaces almost as they were two thousand years ago. Strolling through Pompeii is like traveling back in time and discovering, with extraordinary clarity, what daily life was like in the Roman Empire. Among its most emblematic places are the Amphitheater, the House of the Faun, the Villa of the Mysteries, the Forum and the mosaics that decorate homes and commercial establishments. The plaster moldings of the victims, obtained from the holes left in the ash, are one of the most striking testimonies of the disaster and provide a particularly moving human dimension. Pompeii is an essential visit to understand the Roman history, the effects of the volcanic eruption and the cultural richness of ancient Campania, offering a unique archaeological experience in the world.
