In 79 AD it was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The famous Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, died while trying to save those trapped in the city. His son, Pliny the Younger, wrote an eyewitness account. The city was largely forgotten until the 17th century, and has been under more or less constant excavation since then.
The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the frazione of Pompei Scavi.The central basilica, dedicated to Madonna del Rosario di Pompei, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. It houses a canvas by Luca Giordano. According to Claire Weiss, an area supervisor in the archaeological Anglo-American Project at the ruins of ancient Pompeii, while the rest of the world thinks of the city mainly in connection with the Roman ruins, "in Italy is better known for being home to the Cathedral of Pompei"
