Pamiatky v Ercolane

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.
