About this experience
Herculaneum (modern Ercolano), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that shows what life was like in a typical Roman city. According to legend, it was founded by Hercules and was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Today, it attracts many visitors each year with its well-preserved streets, villas, shops, thermal buildings, and sacred sites.
Herculaneum offers a unique look into the past, with many buildings still having two stories and featuring frescoes and mosaics that highlight the city's rich history before the eruption.
