Through the very panoramic SS. 145 which runs alongside Castellammare di Stabia, we discover the excavations of Herculaneum, which like Pompeii, was destroyed during the eruption of 79 AD Surrounded by the villas of the Roman patricians during the eruption it was submerged by a torrent of mud and lava. The mass of debris that covered Herculaneum subsequently solidified into tuff. This process of solidification has kept intact objects and wooden parts, which are still visible and well preserved today. However, much of the ancient city is still buried under the modern Herculaneum, and excavation work is still in progress to discover what still lies beneath the modern city. Considered
