Herculaneum Archaeological Park

Herculaneum Archaeological Park is an open-air site in Italy that preserves the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum’s buildings and artifacts are remarkably well-preserved due to the volcanic material that buried it. Visitors can explore ancient homes, bathhouses, and shops, gaining insight into Roman life. The park offers a fascinating glimpse into history through well-preserved mosaics, frescoes, and wooden structures, making it an important archaeological site for understanding Roman civilization and the impact of natural disasters.
