Pompeii

Both Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried during a terrific explosion of Mt Vesuvius on the 24th of October 79 AD. And both places are equally well preserved: any visitor will be surprised by the state of preservation of ancient roads, shops, public buildings, private homes, temples, bath-houses in both archaeological areas. These ancient cities will give you the feeling of being in a time-machine, a step back 2000 years ago during the Roman Empire.

Thermopolium, Pompeii
Thermopolium, Pompeii. Many of the homes in Pompeii were behind 'store fronts' such as these. You can see the oven behind the 'bowl' - servants would cook the food then serve it out of these built in bowls to passing patrons.

The 2,000-Year-Old 'Perfume Garden' in the Ancient City of Pompeii Has Been Restored to Its Former Glory
In the 1950s, botanist Wilhelmina Jashemski identified traces of pollen, spores and plant fossils in the ancient city of Pompeii. The discovery suggested that the site had once been a lush, cultivated garden. Now, that garden is in bloom once again, complete with thousands of roses, ruscus plants, violets, cherry trees and vines. Keep reading about this fragrant garden: 📸: Archaeological Park of Pompeii

The story begins in the 1950s, when pioneering botanist Wilhelmina Jashemski discovered traces of ancient pollen, spores, and plant fossils among the volcanic ruins of Pompeii. These silent remnants whispered of a once-lush, cultivated space possibly designed not just for beauty, but for aromatic delight. Now, decades later, that garden has been fully restored, and it's absolutely breathtaking. The air is once again filled with the scents of blooming roses, violets, ruscus, cherry trees, and climbing vines, recreating the floral atmosphere ancient Romans would have enjoyed. This isn't just a botanical restoration it's a sensory time machine, transporting visitors straight into the fragrant world of ancient Rome.
