Buried beneath 20 meters of volcanic mud during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, this Roman seaside town offers an astonishingly intimate glimpse into antiquity. The hot pyroclastic surge sealed the city airtight, preserving delicate organic matter like wooden roofs, beds, and textiles. Visitors can wander paved Roman streets, admire vibrant frescoes inside private villas, and explore public baths alongside ancient coastal boathouses.
Highlights
- Remarkably preserved wooden beams, furniture, and two-story Roman homes
- Intricate floor mosaics and vivid mythological frescoes in luxury villas
- Ancient beachfront arches holding remnants of Roman port life
