Pompeii and Herculaneum were preserved (and also obliterated) after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Stabiae was also impacted, but not destroyed.
Why is Pompeii a famous tourists attraction?
Pompeii is famous for tourism because of the uniqueness of the site. Pompeii, an ancient city, was beset by tragedy when the nearby Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted and covered the city and its people in hot volcanic ash. The ash preserved everything it buried, and when the city was found, the inhabitants were also discovered in perfect condition. Homes and furniture were also perfectly preserved. In fact, several homes still had food that was preserved enough for excavators to identify what the food was. The site allows us to take a perfect look at what life was like for people in ancient times.

Why have ruins of Pompeii been well preserved?
The Roman city of Pompeii was situated on the western coast of the Italian peninsula, south of Rome. It was a prosperous city in the Roman Empire. In 79 AD CE, Pompeii was the victim of an eruption of the nearby volcano of Mt. Vesuvius. The lava and ashes of this volcano destroyed the people of Pompeii but not the structures and art of the city. These same ashes and solidified lava preserved much of this city and smaller nearby ones. This preservation has given archaeologists a very clear picture of what life was like in this city.
