Herculaneum

Discover Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike its more famous neighbor, Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried by a pyroclastic flow, which carbonized organic materials and sealed the town, preserving it in remarkable detail. Wander through remarkably intact buildings, from opulent villas with vibrant frescoes to humble shops, offering a unique glimpse into daily Roman life. Explore the carbonized remains of wooden structures, furniture, and even food, providing an unparalleled snapshot of the past. A visit to Herculaneum is an emotional and historical journey, allowing you to walk the same streets as the Romans, imagine their lives, and contemplate the forces of nature that both created and destroyed this ancient wonder.
