Pompeii is an ancient Roman city or better to say an ancient ruined city situated in Italy. Pompeii is located near present Naples in the Campania region. For its tragic history Pompeii is one of the greatest tourist attractions not only in Italy and Europe but in whole world. Pompeii was actually a lively Roman city which was suddenly turned into ashes as Mount Vesuvius erupted continuously for two days. People died helplessly and were buried under thick layers of ashes.
It was in 79 AD that the catastrophe occurred in Pompeii and the dead city was incidentally rediscovered in the year 1748. Hundreds of bodies were found deep beneath the soil. The entire city with houses, markets, religious places were dug up from age old ashes and from then on the ancient city has become a center of attraction for people from all parts of the country. Millions of international and intercontinental tourists travel to Pompeii throughout th year and turns and get struck by the tragedy that occurred long long ago.
