Itinerary

Stop At: Tours of Pompeii with Lello & Co., Pompeii Italy

Herculaneum along with Pompeii, was heavily impacted by the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius. Nevertheless, while Pompeii was buried beneath a layer of ash and lapilli, Herculaneum became covered under an extensive mass of mud and volcanic debris. This substantial solid mass allowed for better preservation of perishable materials like wood, residues of food, fabrics, etc.
