Its major attraction is the ruined ancient Roman city of the same name, which was engulfed by Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRomans took control of Pompeii around 200 BC. On August 24, 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted, burying the nearby town of Pompeii in ash and soot, killing 20,000 people, and preserving the city in its state from that fateful day. Pompeii is an excavation site and outdoor museum of the ancient Roman settlement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis site is considered to be one of the few sites where an ancient city has been preserved in detail - everything from jars and tables to paintings and people was frozen in time, yielding, together with neighbouring Herculaneum which suffered the same fate, an unprecedented opportunity to see how people lived two thousand years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand.
