Situated on the Campanian volcanic arc and located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples, the Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in 79 AD which led to the destruction & burying of the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis & Stabiae along with several other settlements. Formed by the collision of the two tectonic plates, the African and the Eurasian, Vesuvius is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of more than 3,000,000 people living nearby, making it the most densely populated volcanic region in the world.
