Our Italy Trip: Heracleum

Heracleum and Pompei were hit by an eruption of Vesuvius around 2000 years ago.
Pompei is a very famous town, it is way bigger than Heracleum.
However, Pompei was basically distroyed, only fundations are left.  While Heracleum is still mostly intact.
Here are some pictures Myia has taken of this remarkable town:
 Even the more than 2000 year old wall decorations are intact in some places
