The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Pompeii (Updated 2025)

"Tucked toward the back of Pompeii, this former vineyard contains 13 plaster casts of people who didn't escape the eruption, forming a grotesque and agonizing tableau that is both deeply unsettling and powerfully illustrative of the city's final moments." - Matthew Kepnes
