Highlights
In Pompeii, it still feels like you can hear the voices of its ancient inhabitants. Stepping into their homes stirs an emotion that leaves no room for imagination — they are the clearest testimony of life in ancient Rome. It’s as if the eruption of Vesuvius captured a snapshot of Pompeii’s final moment. That “negative,” preserved beneath ash and pumice, has come to us perfectly intact. There’s no other place in the world quite as haunting and fascinating. The casts of fleeing citizens are both brutal and captivating — powerful scenes that evoke fear and awe. They embody the final breath of a city that died... yet lives forever.

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
