Frozen Streets and Frescoes: A 4‑Hour Walk Through Pompeii from Castellammare di Stabia.
Completely buried by lapilli and volcanic ash in the eruption of 79 AD, Pompeii remains a time capsule of the ancient world. Excavations begun in the mid‑18th century uncovered a wealth of artifacts and architecture that reveal everyday life in antiquity; highlights include the Amphitheatre, the Temple of Jupiter, the Casa del Fauno, the Casa dei Vettii and the Villa dei Misteri, with new archaeological work still adding discoveries to the site.
