Pompeii is the legendary city that was buried under tonnes of ash during the 79 AD eruption of the magnificent Mount Vesuvius.

Due to the volumes of ash that fell on Pompeii, it has been preserved in fantastic condition and much of the city survives.

You can walk through this immense metropolis and see some fantastic structures, paintings and temples.

Notable structures include the House of the Faun, the Temple of Venus and the two amphitheatres.

Furthermore, you can also see some plaster casts that show the actual bodies of some of the victims that were suffocated to death during the eruption.

This ancient site is one of the premier attractions in the region and is an absolute must when staying in Giugliano.
