Famous all over the world, the excavations of Pompeii and those of Herculaneum are the only archaeological sites in the world able to give back to the visitor a Roman settlement, whose life remained steady on a distant morning of 79 AD.
Tons of ashes, pumice, and lapilli of the volcano Vesuvius covered Pompeii under a layer of over 6 meters while preserving it from most of the offenses of the time.

Estimated time to reach the Pompeii excavations by car: about thirty minutes.
