Google has added Pompeii to its Street View application, allowing internet users to take a 360-degree virtual tour of the ancient Roman city.
Italy’s culture ministry says it hopes the move will boost tourism to the site, state news agency Ansa reports.
Among the ruins visible on the search engine’s free mapping service are the town’s statues, temples and theatres.
The city was buried in ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD79 and was not discovered until the 18th Century.
