HERCULANEUM
Herculaneum is an ancient Roman city located near Pompeii, close to the Bay of Naples in Italy.
It was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, and its ruins are preserved in an exceptionally well-preserned state, affording visitors an insight into what ancient Roman life was like.
Herculaneum is a smaller town than Pompeii, and its ruins are more compact, with fewer tourists.
Visitors can see well-preserved houses and shops, ancient mosaics, and sculptures in the ruins of the Forum.
