Pompeii was overwhelmed by Vesuvius in AD 79; the ash layer preserved street plans, homes, and everyday objects, offering a rare snapshot of Roman urban life.
Conservation
The Archaeological Park restricts off-path access and encourages visitors to avoid touching frescoes; guided activities help reduce wear by keeping groups on approved routes.
