Full description
Would you like to experience an intense day walking through a buried city?
Herculaneum is a city near Naples that was destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. C., the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii.
Surrounded by volcanic rock, its location gives you a much clearer idea of the magnitude of the volcanic eruption. While Pompeii's roofs collapsed under the weight of falling ash, only a few centimeters of ash fell on Herculaneum, causing little damage.
Subsequently, there was a succession of six pyroclastic flows (a mixture of ash and gases) that then solidified. These gradually buried the city's buildings from the bottom up, causing relatively little damage. The good state of preservation of the site is due to its rapid filling by these flows, which prevented the buildings from collapsing.
Restoration work is ongoing, and while much of the timbers have been replaced, much of the original woodwork is still present, albeit heavily charred. Ultimately, the volcanic rock, or tufo, that covered the site for 1,700 years formed an airtight seal. As a consequence there are many well preserved buildings, many with the upper floors still intact and some excellent frescoes and mosaics on the walls and floors to be seen. Herculaneum really gives you an insight into how the ancient Romans lived.
In addition to the visit to Herculaneum, your day trip also includes a wonderful panoramic drive through the city of Naples, with its enchanting landscape and vibrant streets.
