Naples, the famous port of the Campania region, is one of the few European cities where antiquity has never entirely disappeared. Founded by the Greeks and developed and expanded by the Romans, the city became a prized treasure for foreign invaders over the centuries. The legacy of this past is a noisy metropolis with a high crime rate, somewhat unkempt and chaotic, yet well worth visiting. As we explore the human remains and houses in Pompeii, buried beneath the ashes of Mount Vesuvius, you will witness nature’s power and the incredible devastation it can cause.
