Guided tours of Pompeii: information on the buried city

Visiting the excavations of Pompeii, today the third most visited state museum in Italy, means having a unique experience and this not only for the extraordinary beauty of its archaeological finds but also and above all for the particular atmosphere that you breathe in this place. The peculiarity of Pompeii, compared to other archaeological sites, lies in the fact that houses, buildings, streets, objects and even people, have come, after almost two thousand years, to our days perfectly preserved by the volcanic materials that came out from Mt. Vesuvius whose explosion sanctioned not only the end of this city but also bur also the Town of Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis
The excavations that allowed to bring Pompeii back to light, began in 1748 commissioned by Charles III of Bourbon and since then there have been numerous discoveries and recovery and protection measures implemented in the area. In 1997, just to preserve the integrity of the site, the archaeological area of ​​Pompeii, which extends for about 66 hectares of which 45 brought to light, became part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Thanks to its favorable geographical position, a few kilometers away from Naples, Salerno, the Amalfi Coast and the Sorrento Coast, Pompeii is easily accessible both by private means and by public transport. Finally, remember that the archaeological area can be visited every day except January 1st
