PARCO ARCHEOLOGICO DI POMPEI
Archaeological park representing the daily life of Pompeii with remains of houses following the eruption of Vesuvius
On October 24, 79, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii, a town of 15,000 inhabitants, under ash, volcanic dust and pumice. However, this catastrophe enabled future generations to discover a site that preserves, like a snapshot, the customs of the Pompeians. The remains of richly decorated houses offer a glimpse into the daily life of the Pompeians. For example, you can admire the superb mosaics of the houses of the Boars, Poquius Proculus and the Tragic Poet. The sites to visit are detailed separately.
