It\u2019s not a monument you visit by simply following a set path. It\u2019s a real city, with streets, houses, thermal baths, temples, and several entrances. In 2 or 3 hours, you\u2019ll inevitably have to make some choices. To see the main must-see sites without rushing, you should plan on <strong>4 to 6 hours\u2014or even a whole day<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, which we\u2019ve tried to make as comprehensive as possible, we\u2019ll help you plan your visit step by step. We\u2019ll explain which ticket to choose, how to get to Pompeii, what time to arrive to avoid the crowds and the heat, how long to stay, and why we strongly recommend hiring a guide.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll also find our <strong>detailed itinerary<\/strong>, must-see spots, common pitfalls to avoid, and all our practical tips.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is simple: when you arrive in Pompeii, you\u2019ll know exactly where to go, what to visit, and in what order.

Small brick-walled rooms and erotic frescoes have been preserved.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During our first visit, we heard a guide describe these images as a way to overcome language barriers. This interpretation remains a matter of debate. The space is small and quickly becomes crowded with tour groups.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4130\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Lupanare-di-Pompei-1-jpeg.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"Fresco from the Brothel in Pompeii\" class=\"wp-image-4130\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back then, we would sometimes pick up bits of information by eavesdropping on the groups. Our second guided tour confirmed just how much an archaeologist changes the way we see the city.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look, too, at the <strong>deep wheel ruts in the nearby streets<\/strong>: they show just how heavy traffic was in ancient times. This doesn\u2019t seem to have changed in this region over the past several centuries. <\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"13\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Temple of Isis<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sanctuary dedicated to the <strong>Egyptian goddess<\/strong> was discovered with much of its decoration and furnishings intact. Rebuilt after the earthquake of 62 or 63, it bears witness to the spread of foreign cults throughout the Roman Empire. Its modest size contrasts with the richness of its history and the influence it had on the European imagination after its discovery.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"904\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-iris-pompei.webp?resize=1200%2C904&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85223\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-iris-pompei.webp?resize=1200%2C904&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-iris-pompei.webp?resize=400%2C301&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-iris-pompei.webp?w=1354&amp;ssl=1 1354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h4 id=\"14\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.

The architecture makes use of the terrain to support the tiers of seating and direct the audience toward the stage. Some seating markings remain visible nearly two millennia later. Access to the interior may vary depending on ongoing construction work and events.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s often around this area that we start to come across more groups. Arriving right when it opens really makes the start of the hike more enjoyable. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/grand-theatre-pompei.webp?resize=1200%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Great Theater of Pompeii\" class=\"wp-image-85224\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/grand-theatre-pompei.webp?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/grand-theatre-pompei.webp?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/grand-theatre-pompei.webp?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h4 id=\"15\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">15.

The temple was still under construction at the time of the eruption, which explains its unfinished appearance. The site helps illustrate the connection between religion, civic identity, and the landscape.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"85242\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-venus-pompei.webp?resize=1200%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85242\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-venus-pompei.webp?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-venus-pompei.webp?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/temple-venus-pompei.webp?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h4 id=\"20\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">20.

The detour requires time and either a Pompeii Plus ticket, a 3-day ticket, or the supplement sold by card at Porta Ercolano.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/c53aeb38-d125-4d94-8294-f59b3b17bd05.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frescoes from the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii\" class=\"wp-image-62506\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/c53aeb38-d125-4d94-8294-f59b3b17bd05.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/c53aeb38-d125-4d94-8294-f59b3b17bd05.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three itineraries for visiting Pompeii in 2 hours, 3 hours, or 6 hours<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These itineraries list the locations to visit in order.

Once you\u2019ve passed through security, follow Via Marina and start with<strong>the Antiquarium<\/strong>. Next, head to the <strong>Sanctuary of Venus<\/strong>, then walk up toward the <strong>Basilica<\/strong>, which opens directly onto the <strong>Forum<\/strong>. Take a short detour to the <strong>Sanctuary of Apollo<\/strong> before crossing the square to <strong>the Temple of Jupiter<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Temple of Jupiter, head to the <strong>Macellum<\/strong>, located right next door, then walk south along the Forum to<strong>the Edifice of Eumachia<\/strong>. Then head back northwest to visit the <strong>Forum Baths<\/strong>. Continue along Via delle Terme to the <strong>House of the Tragic Poet<\/strong>, then head up toward the <strong>House of the Faun<\/strong> and the <strong>House of the Vettii<\/strong>. These three houses are close together, but their opening hours may vary.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the House of the Vettii, take Vicolo di Mercurio to reach Via Consolare. Pass through Porta Ercolano, then follow Via delle Tombe and the path leading to the <strong>Villa of the Mysteries<\/strong>. This is the longest detour on the itinerary. After your visit, return the same way to Via Consolare, then follow Via delle Terme and cross the city center toward the <strong>Lupanar<\/strong>. Continue along Vicolo del Lupanare to reach the <strong>Stabiae Baths<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the thermal baths, head down toward Via dei Teatri and enter the <strong>Triangular Forum<\/strong>. Continue toward the <strong>Great Theater<\/strong>, then walk down into the <strong>Quadriportico of the Theaters<\/strong>. Next <strong>,<\/strong> head back toward the <strong>Small Theater, or Odeon<\/strong>, before finishing this section at the <strong>Temple of Isis<\/strong>. These monuments are very close together, and you can visit them one after another with very little walking.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Return to Via Stabiana, walk up to <strong>Via dell\u2019Abbondanza<\/strong>, and head east. First, stop at <strong>Stephanus\u2019s Fullonica<\/strong>, then continue on to the <strong>House of Menander<\/strong> and the <strong>House of the Lovers<\/strong>. Continue along Via di Castricio to<strong>the Insula of the Chaste Lovers<\/strong>, then head back up toward the <strong>Thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus<\/strong>, located along Via dell\u2019Abbondanza.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the last part of the route, take Via di Castricio, then Vicolo della Nave Europa and Vicolo dei Fuggiaschi to reach the <strong>Garden of the Fugitives<\/strong>. Then head back toward Via dell\u2019Abbondanza to explore the <strong>House of Octavius Quartio<\/strong>, followed by the <strong>House of Venus in the Shell<\/strong>. Continue east to the <strong>Great Palestra<\/strong> and finish at<strong>the Amphitheater<\/strong>. The <strong>Piazza Anfiteatro<\/strong> exit is right next to it, which saves you from having to walk back across the entire site at the end of your visit.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re arriving by car and need to return to the same parking lot, take this route in the opposite direction or allow about 20 to 30 minutes to walk around the park at the end. If your visit lasts more than 6 hours, you can take it slower, include the cemeteries, and more easily adjust to changes in opening hours. <\/p>\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-ppn-cv-practical-info ppn-practical-block\"><div class=\"ppn-block-title ppn-practical-block__title\">Practical Tips for Your Visit<\/div><p class=\"ppn-block-intro\">Everything you need to know to plan your visit.<\/p><div class=\"ppn-practical-list\">\n<article class=\"wp-block-ppn-cv-practical-item ppn-practical-item\" data-icon=\"pin\"><div class=\"ppn-practical-item__label\"><span class=\"ppn-practical-item__icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.7\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M20 10c0 5-8 12-8 12S4 15 4 10a8 8 0 1 1 16 0z\"><\/path><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"10\" r=\"2.5\"><\/circle><\/svg><\/span><div class=\"ppn-block-title ppn-practical-item__title\">Shoes, sunshine, and the field<\/div><\/div><div class=\"ppn-practical-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cobblestones are uneven, the sidewalks are high, and, above all, the distances are long.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A day in Pompeii requires some serious physical effort (you might be sore the day after your visit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong> hiking shoes<\/strong> or sneakers;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a <strong>hat<\/strong>, <strong>sunglasses, and sunscreen<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a<strong> light layer<\/strong> to protect against the wind or a rain shower outside of summer;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a <strong>power bank<\/strong> if your itinerary and tickets are on your phone;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>a small bag<\/strong>; luggage larger than 30 \u00d7 30 \u00d7 15 cm is prohibited.

Here are the easiest options from Naples, Sorrento, Herculaneum, and Rome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which appetizer should I choose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We usually start at Piazza Anfiteatro, which is quieter in the early morning, and then walk across the city from east to west. If your train, ticket, or audio guide takes you to Porta Marina, just follow the route in the opposite direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Porta Marina:<\/strong> Choose this entrance if you\u2019re arriving via the Circumvesuviana and want to start with the Forum. The walkup is steep, and this area tends to be crowded with visitors. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Piazza Esedra:<\/strong> It is also located near Pompei Scavi\u2014Villa dei Misteri\u2014and provides convenient access to the Antiquarium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Piazza Anfiteatro:<\/strong> It\u2019s a great starting point for the 3-hour tour, the eastern section, and the accessible route. It\u2019s also the most logical choice when coming from the modern city center and the Trenitalia Pompei train station. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An official mobile ticket allows you to proceed directly to the turnstiles. If your ticket requires you to pick up an audio guide at Porta Marina Superiore, start your tour on that side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I park near Pompeii?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The archaeological park does not have an official parking lot for visitors. Paid municipal parking spaces and several private parking lots are located around Porta Marina, Piazza Esedra, and Piazza Anfiteatro. Their rates and hours vary, and nearby spaces fill up quickly during the high season.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Free option:<\/strong> Our <a href=\"#carte\">map<\/a> shows an area about a 15-minute walk away. Parking there is neither monitored nor guaranteed. Check the signs on the day of your visit and don&#8217;t leave anything in plain sight.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paid option:<\/strong> more convenient when traveling with children or luggage; book or check availability before arrival whenever possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrive before opening time to find a spot more easily, go through security at 9 a.m., and avoid the hottest part of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to Pompeii from Naples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naples is the closest city to Pompeii and offers several convenient means of transport:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Means of transport<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Estimated duration<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Estimated price<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Details<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Circumvesuviana train<\/strong><\/td><td>35 to 45 minutes<\/td><td>About \u20ac3.30 one way<\/td><td>The tour departs from Piazza Garibaldi in Naples, located beneath the central train station.

We aren\u2019t historians ourselves: these few points of reference are mainly intended to help you better understand the streets, houses, and monuments during your visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From ancient origins to Roman greatness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long before it became one of the world\u2019s most famous archaeological sites, <strong>Pompeii<\/strong> developed from several settlement centers beginning in the early centuries of the 1st millennium B.C. Its exact origins remain a matter of debate, but Oscan, Greek, Etruscan, and Samnite influences gradually shaped its architecture and customs. Located on a fertile lava plateau near the mouth of the Sarno River, between the sea and the mountains, the city occupied a strategic commercial position. It came under the influence of <strong>the Samnites<\/strong> and later became Roman following the Social War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A vibrant yet deeply unequal Roman city<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pompeii became a Roman colony under Sylla, and was renamed <em>Colonia Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum<\/em>. At this time, the city was at its most prosperous: splendid <strong>patrician villas<\/strong>, <strong>public baths<\/strong>, an <strong>amphitheatre<\/strong>, a <strong>monumental forum<\/strong> and countless <strong>shops<\/strong> bear witness to its flourishing prosperity. Its population is estimated at between 10,000 and 20,000. The walls of the houses are covered with colorful frescoes, the floors are adorned with mosaics, and the streets vibrate to the rhythm of the markets, the baths and the rumors of the forum.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ruins reveal a bustling city. Residents bought their bread at bakeries, ate at thermopolia, visited the baths, attended performances, and read election posters painted on building facades. Public fountains supplied water to the neighborhoods, while the homes of the wealthiest residents featured gardens, ponds, and reception rooms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This prosperity is also rooted in deep inequalities. Free citizens, freedmen, women, foreigners, and enslaved people did not occupy the same place in society. Service areas, workshops, graffiti, and everyday objects are therefore just as important as the large murals for understanding Pompeii.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city also faced serious trials. In A.D. 59, a <strong>bloody riot<\/strong> broke out in the amphitheater between residents of Pompeii and Nocera; Tacitus recounts it in his <em>*Annals<\/em>*. Then, a violent <strong>earthquake in 62 or 63 AD<\/strong> damaged part of the city. The residents undertook major reconstruction efforts, which were still unfinished at the time of the eruption.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-33 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"52018\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2593032-1200x800.webp?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ancient Ruins of Pompeii near Naples\" class=\"wp-image-52018\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"52005\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/7236259-1200x675.webp?resize=1200%2C675&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii\" class=\"wp-image-52005\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD: a tragedy frozen in time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In<strong>the fall of 79 A.D.<\/strong>, perhaps on October 24, <strong>Vesuvius<\/strong> erupted violently. A massive column of ash and gas rose above the volcano, while pumice stones piled up over the city, causing roofs to collapse. Many residents fled, while others sought shelter. In the final phase, powerful <strong>pyroclastic flows<\/strong> reached Pompeii. In less than 24 hours, the city was buried under several meters of volcanic material.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letters of Pliny the Younger, who witnessed the eruption from across the bay, are a major source of information on the disaster and on the rescue effort led by his uncle, Pliny the Elder. Archaeology complements this account by reconstructing the sequence of pumice falls, collapses, and pyroclastic flows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The excavations revealed the positions of many victims: some were seeking refuge in buildings, while others were trying to flee. The <strong>plaster casts<\/strong> made from the hollows left by the bodies capture these frozen moments, with human silhouettes preserved in their final gestures. These poignant impressions serve as a reminder that behind the site\u2019s beauty lies a profoundly human tragedy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The layer of ash and lapilli destroyed lives, but it also preserved walls, floors, objects, and organic remains. This exceptional preservation is why Pompeii allows us to glimpse an entire city\u2014from public monuments to meals, graffiti, and everyday activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time, the disaster was believed to have occurred on August 24. A charcoal inscription dated to October, <strong>autumn fruits<\/strong>, and other archaeological evidence now support the hypothesis of a later eruption. The exact date, however, remains a matter of debate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pompeii-g5aa886dea_1920.webp?resize=1365%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vases found at Pompeii\" class=\"wp-image-10220\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pompeii-g5aa886dea_1920.webp?w=1365&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pompeii-g5aa886dea_1920.webp?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pompeii-g5aa886dea_1920.webp?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pompeii-g5aa886dea_1920.webp?resize=512%2C384&amp;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pompeii-g5aa886dea_1920.webp?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From rediscovery to major archaeological digs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the catastrophe, memories of Pompeii gradually faded. In the <sup>16th<\/sup> century, workmen digging a canal accidentally rediscovered some ancient walls. But it wasn&#8217;t until <strong>1748<\/strong> that the first serious excavations began under the reign of <strong>Charles III de Bourbon<\/strong>. Houses, frescoes and everyday objects were unearthed, and the whole of Europe marveled at this &#8220;rediscovered world&#8221;.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <sup>19th<\/sup> century, archaeologist <strong>Giuseppe Fiorelli<\/strong> introduced a revolutionary method. He divided the city into <strong>regions (<em>regiones<\/em>) and islets (<em>insulae<\/em>)<\/strong>, numbered each house and invented the technique of plaster casts, giving a face to the victims of the eruption. These actions, both scientific and profoundly human, made Pompeii a unique site in the world.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, research has continued unabated. New areas continue to be studied: <strong>Regio V<\/strong>, for example, has revealed striking frescoes, a remarkably well-preserved thermopolium, and numerous graffiti. In 1997, Pompeii was designated a <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>. The <strong>Great Pompeii Project<\/strong> subsequently made it possible to restore dozens of homes, secure fragile structures, and modernize the public exhibition.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Pompeii is much more than a site frozen in time: it&#8217;s a <strong>living archaeological laboratory<\/strong>, where 3D technologies, photogrammetry and paleobotanical studies are helping us to better understand the daily life of the Romans. With each excavation campaign, new discoveries emerge: frescoes, inscriptions, objects, sometimes even the remains of domestic animals. Each find adds a new page to the history of a city eternally suspended in ashes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly one-third of the ancient city remains intentionally unexcavated. The goal is no longer to uncover everything at any cost, but to preserve what is already visible and to leave areas for future generations to study using better methods. The work carried out by Regio IX shows that the history of Pompeii is still being written.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-34 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"52023\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2580010-1200x800.webp?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Columns at the archaeological site of Pompeii\" class=\"wp-image-52023\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do around Pompeii?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Naples region is full of places to explore<\/strong>.
