Tours in Herculaneum are unforgettable, spine-tingling experiences.They allow you to truly contemplate life in the ancient world. Here, for centuries, streets and houses lay hidden, covered by layers of volcanic ash. The excavations started during the reign of the King of Naples Carlo Terzo di Borbone, even before those at Pompeii. And immediately afterwards, Herculaneum became a must-see destination for enthusiastic young European intellectuals. Three centuries later, it still remains a site which is appreciated by hundreds of thousands of international travelers.
You’ll learn all about the elegant frescoes and mosaics at the extraordinary Casa dei Cervi. At the ancient beach you’ll see the perfectly preserved skeletons of 300 victims who desperately sought shelter from the eruption. At the Plumbarius, you’ll see the workshop of an early plumber frozen in time. Then enter the Sacello degli Augustali to admire this shrine dedicated to the cult of the emperor. This is a site of numerous incomparable ruins, and all will be revealed to you.
