Svelaria Tour to the Herculaneum excavations

Svelaria Tour to the Herculaneum excavations

Built on a promontory overlooking the sea, the ancient city of Herculaneum was a holiday resort for the elite of the time. Linked to the mythical hero Ercole, it was the seat of patrician villas among which the famous Villa dei Papiri stands out. The guided tour will begin at the ancient beach, where excavations have brought to light the bodies of about 300 victims. We will then enter inside the walls, among aristocratic domus, thermal complexes and shops incredibly preserved and protected by the lava flow that brought them to us.
