The city was destroyed in a tragic August 24 in 79 AD by the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius and from that day the time has stopped.

The violent explosion of the volcano that buried the city and men under a river of lava and ash, surprised citizens in their daily activities: merchants in the shops, farmers and slaves to work, rich families in their houses, children in their mothers arms, dogs tied to the chain. The victims were more two thousand.
Pompei ruins now appears in almost all its extension and brings us back to the day when the fate stopped the course of its history.
