The destroyed Roman town of Pompeii which lay buried since Vesuvius destroyed it in 79 AD. Most art has been removed and taken to the Naples Museum, but walking around the desolated town shows the luxury villas, shops and streets of it's people.
The aqueducts brought water to all it's inhabitants, baths and fountains, Now a UNESCO world heritage site, Pompeii is definitely worth a visit.
In the Roman bath the waters would over flow this fountain and cascade onto the floor. The floors were heated from below.. This fountain is solid stone and is about 3 1/2 feet tall by 3 1/2 wide.
