One of the most important commercial ports in Roman times situated at the mouth of the river Sarno. Buried by the devastating force of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. rediscovered by chance 16 centuries later is the most visited archaeological site in Italy. There you can visit the Forum area, the Theatres area, the Baths, and some of the best preserved houses with the original mosaic floors, frescoed walls and in some monuments you can still see some of the plaster casts of the inhabitants who were suffocated by the ashes erupted from the volcano.

The residential town along the Bay Naples in 79 A.D. when the devastating fury of the volcano Vesuvius buried the whole area at the foot of it. Herculaneum was buried by a torrential lava of mud mixed to volcanic materials. Smaller than Pompeii, but not less interesting. Here in fact you can see not only the same kind of buildings of Pompeii but better preserved artistic elements (mosaics, frescoes, and original timber of the roofs).
