Herculaneum half day

Herculaneum was a residential area, not holding Pompei’s business prominence, but full of well–to–do Romans’ opulent villas.

When the catastrophe of 79 A.D. occurred, Herculaneum was submerged under a torrent of mud and lava that hardned into a soft tuff (a kind of coarse rock) that preserved many of the timber features and household objects which can be seen today.

A large portion of treasures lie buried under the rock, so excavations are still being carried out.
