Herculaneum
Herculaneum (in Italian, Ercolano) is one of the most remarkably preserved urban archaeological sites of the ancient Roman Empire. Located in the Bay of Naples, at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, the town was buried by the volcanic eruption of AD 79, the same disaster that destroyed Pompeii. However, the two sites offer distinct experiences: Herculaneum is smaller in scale, with a more compact urban layout, and features preservation phenomena that are rare in Mediterranean archaeology.
