The Wikipedia photo contest in Pompeii with our guidance

Posted byAskos ToursPosted intoursTags:, , , , , , , , ,

Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photo contest for monuments, organized by Wikimedia this September.

Wikimedia is the movement behind Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – a global collaboration authored by volunteers.

Cultural heritage is an important part of the knowledge Wikipedia collects and disseminates. Everybody can contribute images as well as write articles. An image is worth a thousand words, in every language at once and local enthusiasts can (re)discover the cultural, historical, or scientific significance of their neighbourhood.

Felicia, one of the guides of our staff, was the official guide during the experience “Wiki loves monuments” in Pompeii.

Book your tour with us!
