Pompeii or Pompei, in the native language, is an Italian city located about 250 km from Rome. This ancient Roman city was hit by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and is now an archaeological site recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Getting to know Pompeii is a unique opportunity, which, although it reveals the sadness and destruction of an entire city, allows you to better understand how an authentic Roman city worked and perceive details of the daily lives of its residents.
The place has very well-preserved ruins and is of inestimable historical and cultural richness. Neighboring cities such as Herculaneum and Stabia, also destroyed by Vesuvius, are other options for nearby tours for those who want to take the Vesuvian archaeological circuit, which includes visiting other archaeological sites in the region.
The archaeological site is huge and is divided into 9 areas, but not all of them are open to the public because some remain being excavated and are still covered by ashes. The visit is really a spectacular moment for those who appreciate history, it’s like a dive into the past.
Visit Pompeii the easy way with private transportation in a comfortable minivan with a driver
Getting to know Pompeii you have the opportunity to see numerous details of the daily life of a Roman city, including walking through the old city streets, noticing the wear and tear caused by carriages on the stones that pave the streets, entering period residences, visiting thermal baths, admiring ancient frescoes (wall painting technique) and mosaics that adorned the residences, visit the amphitheater and also the Roman forum, surrounded by sanctuaries, temples and porticoes.
Another well-known peculiarity of Pompeii are the “calchi” (calco, in the Italian singular), which are a kind of plaster, which allows you to recover and see the shape of animals or people at the time they were hit by the effects of Vesuvius. These calchi or “molds” showing people the moment they were killed by the volcano are a rather shocking part of the tour.
People who did not leave Pompeii in the first phase of the eruption of Vesuvius ended up trapped with the material expelled by the volcano and shortly afterwards there was a pyroclastic wave, which explained in a very simple and layman way is a wave of very hot and fast gas, with stones and ash expelled in the eruption, which with its high temperature causes devastating effects on the human body.
