    Pompei

    "Visited Pompei"

    Overrated - though I'm not much one for ancient architecture, especially if it's hot outside and there's not shade or place to rest... no artifacts...

More information on Pompei

Pompeii, the most famous archaeological site in Italy, is located just 25km away from Naples. The excavations are visited by millions of visitors every year and offer one of the most important pieces of evidence of the past in the whole world. Life in this rich and prosperous city was dramatically and brusquely interrupted in 79 C.E. when Vesuvius erupted and totally buried it. The city and its inhabitants were wiped out in moments. A visit to the excavations gives you a pretty good idea of what life must have been like here two thousand years ago. A must visit for history lovers.
