Aperçu

Smaller than nearby Pompeii, Herculaneum was a peacefull town founded, according to the legend, by Hercules. It was wiped out by the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and buried under a thick layer of mud that has perfectly preserved the houses, shops, villas and frescoes beneath. Herculaneum gives to all the visitors a vivid picture of how Roman life looked like 2000 years ago.
