   Archeological Park of Herculaneum

   Born in the archaic age and initially affected by an indigenous settlement, the city was subsequently exposed to Samnite, Greek, Etruscan influences, up to the predominant Roman presence, whose civilization is today witnessed by the exceptional state of preservation. Located on a volcanic plateau, overlooking the sea, Herculaneum, like the other Vesuvian cities, was covered by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.C. whose products, settling, buried it until it reached a thickness of twenty-three meters. The city was brought to light during the excavations conducted by the Bourbons.
