This tour shows you Pompeii's ruins, one of the most significant proofs of Roman civilization; a city with outstanding information on the art, customs, trades and everyday life of the past. The city has re-emerged from the darkness of the centuries, just as it was when it was unexpectedly buried in the thick layer of ashes and lava that was destroyed by the devastating eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The findings following the excavations, which began in the 18th century, are one of the best testimonies of Roman life: around the forum you can appreciate craft shops, political and administrative buildings, barns, the macellum and the baths, as well as three temples of Apollo, Venus and Jupiter. Moreover it is possible to admire many private houses with wonderful frescoes, theatres, the Amphitheater and other buildings that will transport you in the 1st century AD.
