For sure.... Pompeii is a ruined Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei.It, along with Herculaneum, was destroyed, and completely buried, during a catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days on 24 August 79.[1]The volcano collapsed higher roof-lines and buried Pompeii under many meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 
A computer-generated depiction of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 which buried Pompeii . The depiction of the Temple of Jupiter, facing the forum, and the Temple of Apollo, across the portico to the left, are nonetheless inaccurate, and the shown state of the porticoes around the forum is also at least questionable, as they all appear intact during this recreation of the 79 eruption; it is widely known that at least the Temples of Jupiter and Apollo had been destroyed 17 years before, during the 62 earthquake, and that they had not been rebuilt by the time the city was finally destroyed in the 79 eruption
Some plaster casts of victims of the eruption still in actual Pompeii; many are in the Archaeological Museum of Naples. (Casts can also be found, amongst other places, near the forum, inside the baths, and at the Villa of the Mysteries.)
Pompeii.
0 dead Pompeii!
Silent are thy streets;
Heavy is thy winding sheet of ashes.
In the old time the sky was blue above
thee.
Thou hast been happy with the play of
children,
Hast feasted, and been gay with dance and
music.
Each has his buried city,
You yours, I mine; its streets have echoed
The merry tread of many dear companions.
There we have played and talked and
prayed together;
There we have lived and loved together.
Deserted are its streets, and dark, and
lonesome.
Hot tears have I poured over it like lava;
Like ashes fall the gray years thick above
it.
Silent is it and dead.
0 sad Pompeii!
0 dear Pompeii!
******If we really want to love
