The Journey
Herculaneum
Step back in time and explore Herculaneum, a remarkably well-preserved ancient Roman city tragically buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was entombed by a pyroclastic surge, preserving organic materials and offering a unique glimpse into Roman life. Wander its intact streets, marvel at the vibrant frescoes and mosaics adorning elegant houses, and discover the opulent Villa dei Papiri, once home to an extensive library. Experience the daily life of Herculaneum's inhabitants frozen in time, from the thermal baths and shops to the haunting remains of those who sought refuge on the beach. With expert guidance, uncover the dramas of the eruption and the extraordinary archaeological finds that make Herculaneum a truly captivating window into the Roman world.
