3Pompeii is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site

In 1997, Pompeii was given the status of World Heritage Site.

It is an incredibly important place in that it provides such a complete example of Roman life, architecture, community and history. So much has been learned from the excavations at Pompeii, in terms of history, science and sociology.
