ANCIENT
HERCULANEUM
Enjoy an amazing guided tour of ancient
Herculaneum with a qualified tourist guide!!!!
Ercolano
(once Herculaneum and later Resina) is a
lovely city located about 8 kilometers south-east of Naples.
Known since ancient times as a center of culture and art,
Ercolano is among the Vesuvian cities the richest in history,
art and natural landmarks.
Located in the center of the beautiful Gulf of
Naples, the city extends from the sea to the summit of the volcano Vesuvius. From its territory
you can enjoy amazing panoramic views over the entire Gulf of
Naples that have no equal in the world.
In the center of the town you can visit the Archaeological
Site of ancient Herculaneum,
the city
completely
buried by the well-known eruption of Mount Vesuvius, in 79 AD.
The city of Resina
which prospered as a holiday resort town until recent times, was built on the buried ancient
city of Herculaneum.
Rediscovered in 1709 and raised from the ashes starting from
1738, Herculaneum
has only been partially unearthed but it is excellently preserved. The visit of the
ancient city is an extraordinary experience that allows us to
have an idea of the luxury, refinement and high cultural
level reached by the rich inhabitants of this splendid town in
the shadow of the volcano.

Walking through the ancient streets, entering the
houses, abandoned by the inhabitants at the time of the
eruption, observing the beautiful well-preserved frescoed
walls, the charred woods, the numerous mosaics and various
objects still present in the superb
dwellings, is an amazing experience which gives
the impression of traveling back in time.
