Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near Naples in the Italian region of Campania, the territory of the comune of Pompei. Along with Herculaneum, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in the year of A.D. 79. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1,700 years before its accidental discovery in 1749. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.
