Lost city

A lost city is a city that used to exist in the past but no longer exists today. Lost cities can be forgotten or destroyed by natural disasters, wars and other events. Lost cities can also be completely abandoned and forgotten over time. A famous example of a lost city is the original city of Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of a volcano in 79 CE.
