Introduction:

Leaving Rome in the morning in a southerly direction we reach Pompeii.

With its excavated area, extending for approximately 44 ha, and the preservation state of its buildings, due to the particular burial (under a blanket of 6 meter of ash and rock) caused by the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii can be considered the only archaelogical site which gives the real image of roman city. And the image is similar to cities, not preserved, of the same period. Despite wars waged on its soils, despite assaults by earthquakes and a volcano nineteen centuries ago, Pompeii is still vibrant and accessible. Wander from mosaic tomonument, temple to theatre, envision life in this legendary city.

You will depart Pompeii in the afternoon for the return journey to Rome.
