The archaeological site of Pompeii, located at the foot of Mount Vesuvius in Campania, is an important testimony to daily life in ancient Rome. Founded in the 7th century BC, the area thrived until the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried the city under a thick layer of ash and pumice. This eruption has remarkably preserved buildings, frescoes and everyday objects, providing a unique insight into Roman society.
Pompeii is famous for its cobbled streets, houses adorned with vivid frescoes and public places, such as the forum and theaters, which reveal the vibrant lifestyle of the time. Visitors can admire the Temple of Apollo, the thermal baths and famous houses such as the House of the Vettii, with its splendid mosaics. In addition, the famous "mummies" of Pompeii, human bodies fossilized by ash, tell stories of fear and escape.
The archaeological site was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997 and is one of the most visited tourist sites in Italy. Thanks to excavations and ongoing research, Pompeii continues to reveal new secrets and offer a detailed insight into the culture, religion and daily life of the ancient Romans. A visit to Pompeii is a journey through time that allows you to better understand the city and its tragic end, making it an unmissable destination for history and art enthusiasts.
