Pompeii Archaeological Park
We will take plus minus 3 hours to get from Pompeii with a stop. The archaeological excavations of Pompeii have returned the remains of the ancient city of Pompeii, on the hill of Civita, at the gates of modern Pompeii, buried under a blanket of ashes and lapilli during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79. The findings following the excavations are one of the best testimonies of Roman life, as well as the best preserved city of that era. Most of the recovered finds are kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples and in the Antiquarium of Pompeii. The site of Pompeii, in 2016, exceeded three million visitors, making it the third most visited state museum site in Italy after the Pantheon and the archaeological circuit of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. In 1997, to preserve their integrity, the ruins, managed by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, together with those of Herculaneum and Oplontis, became part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
