Pompeii

Excavations at Pompeii, buried by Vesuvius in 79 CE, began in 1748 and are ongoing, revealing a remarkably preserved Roman city. Covering over 60 hectares, the site features houses with frescoes, public buildings, and, recently, advanced 3D technology to map, study, and protect the area. Key finds include the Villa of the Mysteries, House of the Faun, and various necropolises.
