Pompeii is a remarkable monument, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The complex of ancient ruins of Pompeii with a total area of 44 hectares (the largest archaeological site in the world) is located near the modern city of the same name. It is located in the province of Naples<\/a>, w region<\/a> Campania on the Gulf of Naples, on the Apennine Peninsula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are quite a few monuments from ancient times in the world, Pompeii fascinates tourists much more than others. And this is all due to a catastrophe that put the city and some of its inhabitants in a \"time capsule\" for centuries. Volcanic eruption Vesuvius<\/a> in 79 AD transformed the prosperous metropolis of the time into a mysterious necropolis, buried in a torrent of pyroclastic material and hot ash. It is estimated that there were about 2,000 residents frozen for centuries. These were those who hid in their homes. The rest managed to escape, sensing the worst. The excavation of Pompeii began in 1748 and continues to this day. The result of the work is a huge ruins of an ancient city<\/strong>, towards which it is impossible to pass indifferently. There is something terrifying and fascinating at the same time in the history of Pompeii. A trip to this place is a must when visiting Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
