The Archaeological Park of Pompeii
The Archaeological Park of Pompeii is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the world. Located in the Campania region of Italy, it was an ancient Roman city that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 79 AD. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the city in volcanic ash and pumice, preserving it for thousands of years.
