Description
Pompeii Wall is from Pompeii, Italy
After thick layers of ash covered the two towns, they were abandoned and eventually their names and locations were forgotten. The first time any part of them was unearthed was in 1599, when the digging of an underground channel to divert the river Sarno ran into ancient walls covered with paintings and inscriptions. The architect Domenico Fontana was called in and he unearthed a few more frescoes but then covered them over again, and nothing more came of the discovery. A wall inscription had mentioned a decurio Pompeii ("the town councillor of Pompeii") but that it indicated the name of an ancient Roman city hitherto unknown was missed.

Pompeii was the furthest point on our tour of Europe a few years ago and was certainly one of the highlights.
