Capped columns mark one end of the Forum at Pompeii, the Roman city that was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. No carriages were allowed in this great open space, which was reserved for public gatherings and markets.

Great pictures and comments. The place was dazzeling me and i was afraid if i missed something. Im a bad card reader, difficult to figure out on the spot.thanks to u i could check it afterwards and read extra things. I traveled all over the world but this place….. Amazing. What a history and what a nice site u made out of it. Thanks!
Lovely greatings from Holland.
Hi Saskia: Pompeii is truly overwhelming, as you say. I could have spent three whole days there. I met so many people who did a day trip down from Naples, especially cruisers who were in port for the day, and they had about 3 hours to see Pompeii. I would have been so frustrated if I’d only had three hours. Glad you liked my photos – one of these days I hope to get to Holland.
