Remains of a house from Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri in Santorini, Greece. It was destroyed and buried by eruption of Santorini volcano in 1628 BC.

It came to light again in 1967 thanks to excavations commissioned by archaeologist Spyridōn Marinatos. Precisely because of deposit of volcanic ash on city, buildings, frescoes and ceramics have been preserved, which is why it is also called "Pompeii of the Aegean".
