Buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city of Herculaneum was brought to light accidentally in 1709 thanks to excavations for the construction of a well.
The method of burial of Herculaneum was different from that of Pompeii, in fact it was first hit by fiery clouds that traveled at a speed of over 80 km per hour and then by mudslides that buried the city under a blanket of about 20 m of volcanic material. The state of conservation of the finds also depends on this.
Together with the guide you will discover the excellent state in which we twist the two-storey domus, the woods, the bronze and marble parts of the tools, artifacts and jewelry that allows us to reconstruct everyday life, the way of living and the lifestyles of the ancient Romans of two thousand years ago.
A journey through time and a unique experience walking through the authentic streets of the city and that will make you know the population of ancient Herculaneums.
