Overview

Pompeii was not the only city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius back in 79 A.D.. A few miles away, right on the coastline, there was another city: Herculaneum. That one town, just like Pompeii, was at the same time both destroyed and preserved by the disaster. Pyroclastic flows covered Herculaneum with a literal mountain of scalding ashes, burying the remains of the ancient city under 80 feet of volcanic materials.

Today, almost 2000 years later, the charm Herculaneum had is still intact. The town was a residential area for the upper class: smaller but richer than Pompeii was. Traces of the affluence of the ancient Herculaneum are still visibile in the original style and in the elegant decorations of the private houses.

Herculaneum differentiates itself from Pompeii also when it comes to the state of the preservation: the two cities were destroyed by the same eruption but the effects on them were not alike.

We will visit the most prominent private houses, such as the House of the Deer, the House of the Wooden Partition, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite and the House of the Bicentenary. We will also see some of the typical Roman shops and obviously, the public baths and the main street along with the most significant public buildings of the city. And of course we won’t miss the ancient beach with the skeletons of the people taking shelter in some of the buildings on the seafront and the wooden boat - still perfectly preserved - found on the beach itself.
