Although less known than its sister
city Pompeii, Herculaneum is another
victim of Mount Vesuvius’ ferocious
eruption in 79 AD. The town of
Herculaneum, just like the city of
Pompeii, was completely buried under
scorching pyroclastic material and
only rediscovered in 1709 by workers
digging a well. If you choose this
excursion, you will get the
opportunity of visiting what is left
of a town where life suddenly
stopped. Due to several factors,
both Pompeii and Herculaneum laid in
air tight conditions for over 1700
years which means that you will be
able to see buildings and objects
which seem to be stuck in a time
capsule. |
