Are you in Ercolano? … then you absolutely must see the Archaeological Park which, among houses, mosaics, theaters and ships burned in an attempt to escape from the devastating eruption of Vesuvius, will take you back to 79 AD at the time of the ancient Roman Empire.<\/p>\n

Did you know that… only a systematic excavation campaign, commissioned by the King of Naples Charles of Bourbon starting in 1738, allowed a priceless treasure to be brought to light?!<\/p>\n

Are you still not convinced to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of ancient Herculaneum? \u2026<\/p>\n

And are you wondering whether to visit Herculaneum or Pompei? \u2026 This is the question that grips\u00a0many\u00a0tourists.<\/p>\n

\"ercolano<\/p>\n

The archaeological site of Herculaneum is smaller, so the time of the visit is shorter, ideal for families\u00a0with\u00a0children.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, you can dedicate the remaining part of the day to other attractions, such as Vesuvius, the sumptuous Vesuvian Villas and a walk through the alleys of the historic center or on the volcanic black sand beach near the Bourbon pier\u00a0“La\u00a0Favorita”.<\/p>\n

Ercolano offers a journey into the most intimate life of its inhabitants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pompei is famous for its cobbled streets, majestic temples and sumptuous residences, but many wall paintings and wooden structures have been lost over the centuries.<\/p>\n

Instead in Herculaneum the methods of burial of the town, the formation of a thick crust of rock and the lack of oxygen have “frozen” the last moments of life, preserving the urban layout and even preserving food, fabrics and\u00a0furnishings.<\/p>\n
