#8 – Pompeii, Italy
via travelblog.goaheadtours.com complain
Pompeii was a flourishing and highly developed Roman town with a complex water system and many other facilities. In 79 AD, it was destroyed and buried under up to 20 feet of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Approximately 11,000 people were killed and the site was lost for about 1,500 years until it was rediscovered in 1599. The objects that lay beneath the city have been well preserved for centuries because of the lack of air and moisture. Nowadays this is the most popular Italian tourist site.
