Pompeii

 

 

Take advantage of your cruise on the Amafitaine Coast to visit Pompeii. This stopover during your rent of yacht will pull you almost 2000 years the back year.

 

Pompeii was a city built at the foot of Vesuvius which was completely buried during an eruption of this volcano. The city congealed under the rains of ashes and archaeological excavations dug up a few centuries later a formerly prosperous city in an unhoped-for state of preservation. 

 

The city of Pompeii, forgotten during 1 600 years, was accidentally rediscovered by chance to become one of the jewels of the archaeology and an extraordinary testimony of the town planning of Roman Empire today.

 

Mummified under a deluge of ashes, Pompeii establishes, since it was put back in the day, the richest testimony of the Roman civilization. The searches allowed to discover an excellent picture of the city of Pompeii such as it was at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius, among which the lava and the ashes congealed for centuries places and characters.
