Pompeii Self Guided Walking Tour
Welcome to Pompeii, a city frozen in time and rich in history! Perched on ancient lava flows, Pompeii once controlled the Sarno River valley and its thriving port. Founded in the 7th century BC, the city grew from a mix of indigenous, Etruscan, and Greek cultures, leading to impressive fortifications. Over the centuries, Pompeii flourished, especially under Roman rule, but a devastating earthquake in 62 AD left the city in repair. Just 17 years later, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying it under ash. Rediscovered in the 16th century and excavated from 1748, Pompeii reveals stunning ancient architecture, art, and daily life. Explore its streets and stories with us!
