Vesuvius is an active volcano located in the Campania region, Italy, known for its notable historical and geological importance. About 1,281 meters high, the volcano is famous for the eruption of 79 AD, which destroyed the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae, preserving them under a layer of ash and lapilli.
Its conical shape and location near the city of Naples make it an icon of the region's landscape. Currently closely monitored, Vesuvius is classified as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world due to the population density in its zone of influence. Despite this, its scenic beauty and history make Vesuvius a popular tourist destination, and visitors can also climb up to the crater to enjoy a panoramic view of Napol Bay
