Duration
2 to 3 hours
Overview
-
Buy your entrance ticket and discover Pompeii, the ancient Roman city that was frozen by the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 AD. In the course of just a few hours, a rain of ash and fragments of lava (lapillus) buried this rich city – houses, people, roads, public buildings, and objects of everyday life were encased in their entirety.
With an area of about 66 hectares/163 acres, Pompeii represents a unique historical look at Roman architecture, sculpture, paintings, and mosaics. The ash that buried the city after the eruption allowed for exceptional preservation, giving visitors today the unique opportunity to experience the Roman city in its magnificent wholeness.
