You step off the air-conditioned transfer and through a gate that opens onto a city frozen in ash and light. Cobbled streets run between stone houses; frescoed walls still hold color beneath a thin crust of centuries. The audio guide slips into your ear and a voice begins to place each courtyard, bath, and forum into human scale.
