Pompeii was buried under the ash of Vesuvius, which preserved its ruins and now allows us to gain an insight into what life was like in the city at the time of its destruction. You can visit houses, shops, statues, signs and public buildings, all of which are perfectly preserved. This will give you an insight into what life was like during the Roman Empire.

Some of the most significant archaeological remains preserved from the city are as follows:

• The Forum of Pompeii: This formed the civic centre and the heart of commercial life in Pompeii. It was accessed through a large bronze gate, and carriages were not permitted inside

• Temple of Jupiter: The temple was built in the 2nd century BC in honour of the Roman god Jupiter, the equivalent of the Greek god Zeus. It was severely damaged by the earthquake of 62 AD and was undergoing restoration at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius

• Basilica: The Basilica of Pompeii was the seat of the administration of justice and, together with the Forum, was the city’s most important building

• Temple of Apollo: This temple stoodwithin an area bounded by 48 columns and was dedicated to the Greek god Apollo, whose cult had been widespread in the region for centuries. Among other things, Apollo was known as the god of the Sun
