Herculaneum, an old Roman settlement, suffered the same fate as Pompeii, having been swallowed up by the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 A.D. The historical site, though not fully unearthed, offers a wealth of history and extraordinary archaeological relics within its confined space. A variety of artifacts such as food, apparel, skeletal remains, and wooden household items have been impeccably preserved, courtesy of the specific volcanic material that layered over the region. The tour includes the ancient beach, human remains, residences, villas, marketplaces, public baths, gardens, and a myriad of other attractions that shed light on the everyday life of the yesteryear Romans.
