Pompeii blew my mind. An ancient city that has been preserved because of the volcanic ashes that killed 2,000 people and caused the residents to flee. Words cannot describe the awesomeness of Pompeii. The eruption of mount Vesuvius occurred over 2 days in 79 AD. It was accidentally rediscovered in the mid 1700s and has provided an enormous amount of information about life at the height of the Roman Empire.
Main courtyard there in the center is where they sacrificed animals to the gods. Mt. Vesuvius is in the background.
This is the garden to one of the most beautiful homes in Pompeii. The wall paintings and shrine are originals.
