Herculaneum and Naples Archeological Museum Private Day Tour from Rome

Herculaneum like the other cities of Vesuvius was submerged by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried it beneath a layer of debris measuring up to twenty-three meters in height. The excavations offer the visitor to the urban fabric, the magnificent baths complex, and the monumental basilica. The perfect state of preservation of wood elements, bronze artfacts and especially of the facades of houses, offers a complete picture of residential housing, which enables the reconstruction of everyday life and the style of living. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is one of the most remarkable collections of ancient exhibits in the world; its galleries house historical collections which can justly claim to be a cornerstone of Italian cultural history. These include the treasures from Herculaneum and Pompeii, a unique heritage of frescoes, sculptures, ornaments and everyday objects.
