The Alella City Council is launching a history course titled 'Pompeii, the city under the ashes' on September 29th, which will explore daily life in the Roman city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

The course, to be held at the Antigues Escoles Fabra in Alella, will offer a journey through the streets and buildings of Pompeii to discover what life was like in a Roman city two thousand years ago. The initiative is organized by the Alella City Council.
Sessions will take place on Tuesdays, with two available time slots: from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM and from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, all starting on September 29th. The course consists of 8 sessions and costs €64.
The course will be led by Cristian Mir, a history graduate from the UB specializing in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology. For more information, visit www.alella.cat/canlleonart.
