Pompeii Remains

The City of Pompeii was buried under the ash and cinders of Mount Vesuvius for 17 centuries before excavations began. The homes, shops and streets are well preserved and give us a better understanding of life in 79 A.D.

Artistically planned and carefully constructed.

All wooden beams and anything flammable was destroyed.

Notice holes where beams would have been supported.

Some reconstruction has been done to give a better sense for what was. Records must exist to indicate who originally lived at this address. The gates are used to keep tourists away from areas that have not been made safe for the busy traffic.
