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.

Must-See Ercolano

Ercolano offers a unique glimpse into Roman life and Bourbon grandeur. The archaeological site of Herculaneum features multi-story Roman houses preserved by volcanic mud, while the nearby Villa of the Papyri once housed an extensive philosophical library. The 18th-century Royal Palace of Portici showcases the region's royal heritage. Visitors can also explore the ancient Roman theater, still partially buried underground, and use high-tech virtual reconstructions at the MAV (Virtual Archaeological Museum) to visualize the city before the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
