This week’s travel photo is of the remains of a kitchen in the ruins of Pompeii, Italy. Pompeii is one of the most popular ancient Roman archaeological sites in Italy, and the ruins are surprisingly well preserved due to being covered in volcanic ash from nearby Mount Vesuvius for nearly 2000 years.
It truly is amazing how well that place is preserved! Who knew ash would prove to be so helpful in this manner? I loved the stories of how life was lived in Pompeii when I was there last year. Just so very fascinating!
Great blog, by the way!
Hi Andrea. I was really surprised at how well some of the ruins are preserved as well. Very interesting! Thanks for stopping by
Whoa. I’ve been in love with Pompeii since I was just a little girl. I always see so many photos of the preserved bodies, but this is the first I’ve ever seen somebody share a photo of a kitchen! I’m completely fascinated by all the colors of the rocks in the countertops! I’m not sure what I would have expected if someone had told me to imagine a kitchen in Pompeii. But this is just so beautiful to me. <3
