Ancient Sites in Pompeii
Pompeii, in the Italian state of Campania, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site not far from Naples. The ancient city was buried on the fateful day of August 24, 79 AD, when Mount Vesuvius erupted burying it in ash and soot, killing about 20,000 people and preserving the city in the same state from that fateful day. The city has now been excavated and it serves as an outdoor museum of the ancient Roman settlement.
