ITINERARY

The archeological area of Ercolano

A fascinating tour that will introduce you to the archaeological site of the ancient and wealthy town buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D., like the nearby and more famous Pompeii.
Paved streets, mosaic floors still completely intact, organic finds and frescoes are just some of the treasures, still largely hidden under piles of lava that can be admired through this exclusive tour of Herculaneum.
The different burial method compared to the ruins of the equally well-known Pompeii have made it a rare pearl over time, thanks to its perfect state of conservation which has allowed evocative frescoes and perfectly preserved everyday objects to be brought again to life.
The Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, a cultural institute of significant national interest endowed with special autonomy, is an administrative structure that has the task of researching, conserving, protecting, divulging and enhancing the ancient Herculaneum.
The archaeological area of Ercolano has been included, since 1997, together with the ruins of Pompeii and the villas of Oplontis, in the list of World Heritage sites drawn up by UNESCO.
