With the guide of your expert Archaeologist, you’ll discover the history and the secrets of the most well preserved city, UNESCO World Heritage Site, victim of the 79ad Vesuvian Eruption,
Herculaneum was buried under volcanic material after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD but, unlike the nearby site of Pompeii, a lot of the town was preserved: roofs, beds, doors, food, and even skeletons.
You’ll see intact buildings at your own pace, see well-preserved frescoes and mosaics, and imagine the daily rituals of those using the shops, public gymnasium and public thermal baths that can still be seen today.
An intere boat, found in very recent times, is perfectly preserved and visible in a specific hall: you’ll see how the effects of the Eruption was at one time distructive and helpful for the preservation of the ancient city
