Herculaneum – A Remarkable Preservation of Roman Civilization:

The tour continues with a visit to Herculaneum, another Roman town frozen in time by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under a deep layer of hot mud, which perfectly preserved the buildings and everyday objects inside. As you walk through the ancient streets of Herculaneum, you’ll encounter a wealth of artifacts that reveal much about daily Roman life. From the remains of wooden doors and beds to small items like jewelry and even food, Herculaneum offers an extraordinary look at Roman civilization. This well-preserved site allows you to witness the Roman world as it was at the time of the eruption.

This unforgettable journey through Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Archaeological Museum of Naples is perfect for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of the ancient Romans.
