Volcano Vesuvius
Vesuvius is an active volcano in the vicinity of Naples, with a height of 1281 meters. This is one of the most dangerous continental volcanoes in Europe, and one of the most famous, largely due to the fact that almost 2, 000 years ago he buried several ancient cities and nearby villages. Among them are cities such as Stabia, Herculaneum, and the most famous of them is Pompeii, which was located closest to all other settlements to Vesuvius.
