Information Tour
Only 3 hours away from Rome, the ruins of Pompei are a tremendous place history buffs have to visit.
Pompei rises on a plateau of Vesuvian lava as long as it was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice. It was rediscovered in the 16th century but exploration started only in 1748 under the King of Naples Charles III of Bourbon, continuing systematically into the 19th century, until the most recent works of excavation, restoration and enhancement of the ancient city and its extraordinary wealth of architecture, sculptures, paintings and mosaics. You will also be given the chance to see the plaster casts of the men, women, children and animals who didn’t survive the most terrible eruption ever.
