The Journey

1

Salerno

Begin your historical adventure in Salerno, a vibrant coastal city with a rich maritime history. Nestled on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Salerno offers a blend of medieval charm and modern energy. Explore its historic center, admire the Salerno Cathedral, and prepare for a journey into the past as you depart towards Pompeii.

2

Pompeii

Step into the hauntingly preserved city of Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage site frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Wander through the ancient streets, explore remarkably intact homes, bathhouses, and even a Roman brothel (Lupanar), offering a visceral glimpse into daily life in the Roman Empire. Witness plaster casts of the eruption's victims, a poignant reminder of the city's tragic fate. Experience the Forum, the heart of Pompeii's political and social life, and marvel at the vibrant frescoes that adorned the villas of wealthy citizens. Pompeii is more than just ruins; it's a portal to the past, offering an unparalleled connection to the lives of those who lived and perished here.

3

Herculaneum

Discover the hidden gem of Herculaneum, a smaller but exceptionally well-preserved Roman town also destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried by a pyroclastic surge, which carbonized organic materials, preserving wooden structures, furniture, and even food. Explore two-story houses with intact balconies, marvel at stunning mosaics, and wander through the ancient harbor where skeletons of those who sought refuge have been found. Herculaneum offers a more intimate and detailed glimpse into Roman life, with its luxurious villas and perfectly preserved shops. It's a less crowded, more immersive experience, revealing the daily lives of the elite and ordinary citizens of this ancient city.
