Ercolano Essentials

Ercolano, the modern site of ancient Herculaneum, offers a remarkably preserved glimpse into Roman life. Unlike nearby Pompeii, the town was buried in volcanic mud, which carbonized wood and organic materials. This list features the archaeological site's highlights, including the House of the Wooden Screen and the Neptune and Amphitrite mosaic. It also includes the Virtual Archaeological Museum (MAV), the Royal Palace of Portici, and the ascent to Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that shaped the region's history in 79 AD.
