Pampeii!

When my friends and I went to Naples we took a day trip to Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii.  

Mt. Vesuvius was a nice little hike to the top and I could really feel the burn.  It was really amazing and you could see all of Naples and the surrounding area's beautifully.

Vesuvius was a name of the volcano in frequent use by the authors of the late Roman Republic and the early Roman Empire.  Its collateral forms were Vesaevus, Vesevus, Vesbius and Vesuvius.

Mount Vesuvius has erupted many times.  The famous eruption in 79 AD was preceded by numerous others in prehistory, including at least three significantly larger ones, the best known being the Avellino eruption around 1800 BC which engulfed several Bronze Age settlements.

The city of Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania

The town was founded around the 7th-6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans, a people of central Italy, on what was an important crossroad between Cumae, Nola and Stabiae.

Pompeii was one of a number of towns located around the base of the volcano, Mount Vesuvius. The area had a substantial population which grew prosperous from the region's renowned agricultural fertility. Many of Pompeii's neighboring communities, most famously Herculaneum, also suffered damage or destruction during the 79 eruption.
