Overview

Visit an ancient Roman city and admire amazing frescos still nowadays well conserved.

The legend tells the founding of Herculaneum by Hercules in 1243 BC. During the Roman Empire it became a resort for wealthy people and intellectuals. Unlike Pompeii, in 79 AD, Herculaneum was buried by 25 meters of muds and other volcanic elements.

This important philosophical center got totally forgotten until 1709, when a farmer unearthed precious marbles during digging works for a well. To date, despite its extension, second only to Pompeii’s, only a small portion of the ancient city has been excavated, with archaeologists regularly busy with new discoveries.

What's Included

Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

Hercolaneum, unlike Pompeii, was mainly covered by ash and mud, only partially by lava, so everything is better preserved than Pompeii: the houses still have their doors and frescos in a very good state. Enjoy a visit in this unique site in total freedom with the audioguides that our assistant will give you.
