About Mount Vesuvius

Visit Naples to have your fill of delectable pizzas that the city is famous for. The city has much to boast about and rightfully so. It is home to numerous well-known tourist attractions. One of its many attractions is the Mount Vesuvius stratovolcano. Apparently, this is the only active volcano in mainland Europe! Who would be able to resist the temptation of such a place? Apparently, this mount has erupted over 50 times. It is most known for its eruption in A.D. 79, which devasted the Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Although the last time that it erupted was in 1944, the mount still poses a threat to the cities surrounding it - especially, the city of Naples. So be sure to visit the city and the mount while the latter lies dormant!
