Pompeii walls collapsed



Pompeii News Updates! Pompeii officials say two more walls have given way inside the 2,000-year-old archaeological site, the second collapse in as many days.

Pompeii's Archaeological Superintendency said the walls collapsed Wednesday morning as a result of heavy rains over the past several days.

The superintendency said the collapses concern the upper parts of a wall in an ancient house and a partition wall between two buildings. Both walls were ancient, but featured no frescoes, according to the officials.

On Tuesday, a stretch of garden wall ringing an ancient house gave way.

Last month, a frescoed house where gladiators prepared for combat, the Schola Armaturarum, collapsed.
