The city is filled with historically important art and architecture that date back to the 2nd millennium B.C., and close to it is the still-active volcano, Mount Vesuvius which destroyed the ancient Roman town of Pompeii in 79 AD. Naples has the largest historic city centre in Europe. Covering up to 1,700 hectares and home to 27 centuries of history, it is recognised as a World Heritage Site.

Pompeii is an ancient city that was destroyed in its prime by the eruption of a volcano, the iconic Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Despite all of the destruction, the layer of ash which covered the ruins of the city preserved it and it still stands today in great condition.
A former highly advanced city, visitors can walk through its ruins to explore the Temple of Jupiter and the Temple of Apollo, The House of the Faun( Casa del Fauno) and the Amphitheatre. There are also plasters casts of the unfortunate victims of the disaster, buried under the ash forever.
The only volcano that has erupted in mainland Europe in the last 100 years, Mount Vesuvius is considered highly dangerous due to the amount of human settlements in its location. This Stratovolcano, dominates the landscape surrounding Naples and is responsible for the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
