It was an ancient Roman town near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in a fertile volcanic valley at the mouth of the Sarno River. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many smaller settlements, was destroyed and buried by a volcanic eruption. Today it is one of Italy’s most popular tourist attractions as excavations continue.
