Nothing quite prepares you for the striking
effect of some of the world’s most famous ruins in Campania, Italy and that is
Pompeii. It’s as if the ancient Romans had departed only yesterday, the homes,
wine shops public baths, and bordellos they left behind are windows of the life
that flourished in this thriving port city at the foot of Vesuvius in the days
of the Caesars. In olden times, one of
the most disastrous volcanic eruptions in history recorded by Pliny the Younger,
who observed it from a distance, buried the town deep that ash would preserve
it. It was not until the mid-18th century that large-scale
excavations were launched, and two-thirds of the city remains buried until now.
The evidences of this place can be seen in its intricate mosaic floors and
richly frescoed villas, although many of the city’s decorative and art objects
were stolen long ago. Pompeii is large enough to be misunderstood without the
help of a guide as what others said who have already gone to the place. That is
why, you really need a guide when you plan to visit there. On the other hand,
the entire areas of the dead city are astonishingly.
For exploring the ruins in the world, Italy has
something that stores just for you!
