Herculaneum — Guided Tour
Pompeii's 'little sister', with an even more extraordinary state of preservation.
Buried by a pyroclastic flow that preserved it almost intact, Herculaneum offers a unique window into Roman life: original wooden structures, vivid frescoes, perfectly preserved mosaics, and the famous skeletons of those who tried to flee to the sea. A compact, elegant and surprising site.
