The Ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum near Naples in Italy are the two obvious answers to this, however there have been others.
On the Greek island of Mykonos the city of Akrotiri was covered by lava flows an, in modern times, Plymouth the capital city of the Caribbean island of Montserrat was swallowed up as well.
Links to websites on all four cities are attached below.

There are some modern towns in Hawaii that have been covered with lava and had to be abandoned.
Kalapana is a town on the Island of Hawaii in the Hawaiian Islands that was completely destroyed and partly buried by the eruptive flow of lava from KÄ«lauea volcano in 1990.

Lava is usually considered to be flowing molten rock. Pompeii and Herculaneum were not covered by lava but were buried by falling volcanic ash. If lava had covered the cities there would have been very little left.

Assuming you mean lava, the answer is yes. At least two, Pompeii and Herculaneum which were covered many feet deep by the pyroclastic cloud of lava from Vesuvius in the 1sr century AD
