Ruins of Herculaneum
2 hours
Private Tour
About
Herculaneum was buried by the eruption of the Vesuvius in the 79 A. D. by about 20 meters (60 feet) of pyroclastic material. For this reason here you can see very well preserved entire buildings in two floors.
At the moment only about the 30% of the ancient city is excavated and the ruins show us many private buildings that conserved carbonized wooden furniture of the Roman times.
Nowadays, Herculaneum is not very known compared to its "big sister" Pompeii, and for this reason the site is much less crowded and more quiet and intimate.
During the tour, we'll see some private houses of ancient wealthy Romans, each decorated with spectacular mosaics, frescos, and stucco decorations. We'll also view and learn about various shops that characterized the daily life in the ancient city.
