City Frozen in Time
Preserved by a Volcano in 79 AD,
Walk the ancient streets remarkably like our own.
Hear about that incredible August day 1900 years ago, when ash rained down from Mount Vesuvius, turning the sky black and encasing Pompeii in a time capsule.
Stop at ancient cafeterias and bars, cross in Roman crosswalks,
Marvel at the mosaics, the frescoes, the still-brilliant colors.
See the pipes that brought running water to homes and fountains,
Envy how the very rich lived, and see Main Street Roman-style, where regular people bought their meals at take-out joints,
Visit the baths and theatres, gardens and stores,
View plaster casts of the citizens of Pompeii as they died,
See a bakery, a laundry and a brothel,
And ancient graffiti still clear on city walls,
Stand where the Gladiators trained and where they fought in the first Roman Amphitheatre ever.
Experience the wonder that is Pompeii
Non-stop running time: One hour and 35 minutes
