PompeiPompei was an important Roman city near Vesuvius. In 79 A.D. the volcano erupted and covered the city with ash and stones. For centuries it remained hidden, until excavations in the 18th century discovered streets, houses, temples and paintings. Thanks to this, we can study in detail how the Romans lived, worked and even what they ate. Ercolano Ercolano was also destroyed by the same eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. But here the lava and mud covered everything, so objects like wood, clothes and food were preserved. Ercolano was smaller than Pompei, but richer, with big villas like the famous Villa dei Papiri. Its discovery gave another important picture of Roman life. Paestum Paestum was founded by the Greeks around the 7th century B.C. with the name Poseidonia. Later it was taken by the Romans. Today it is famous for the Temple of Neptune and the Temple of Ceres. These temples are among the best examples of Greek architecture in Magna Grecia and show the influence of Greek culture in Campania.

Anfiteatro FlavioThe Anfiteatro Flavio in Pozzuoli is the largest amphiteater in southern Italy and one of the biggest in the Roman Empire. It was built in the 1st century A.D. and could hold about 20.000 people. Gladiators fought and public games took place in here. The amphitheater shows how important entertainment was in Roman life and how great Pozzuoli was as a port city. Tempio di Serapide
The Tempio di Serapide is in Pozzuoli and was not really a temple, but a Roman market called macellum. It is famous for its columns that show the signs of bradisismo, the rising and sinking of the ground caused by volcanic activity in the Campi Flegrei. This site is important because it shows not only Roman architecture, but also the strong link between people and nature in the area.
