Digs in Herculaneum

Location: Corso Resina
The digs in Herculaneum are an immeasurable casket of art and history. The city that remains today was buried by the eruption in 79 A.D. which covered it with a thick blanket of mud and plastic materials, permitted the preservation of the upper storeys of houses, of organic materials such as wood, textiles and food, much more so than in Pompeii. The buildings brought to the light by the digs include: the Gym, the spa complex, the Augustinian College, the Theatre, the Bicentenary house and the monumental Papyrus Villa, situated just outside the digs.

The digs in Pompeii

Buried under a 6 metre thick blanket of ash and lapilli, the ancient city of Pompeii, destroyed by the eruption in 79 A.D., was brought back to the light thanks to the excavation campaign undertaken under the rule of Charles of Bourbon, the King of Two Sicilies, in 1748. With a sequence of affairs, linked closely to historical events (French occupation, Unification of Italy), Pompeii slowly exposed its beauty over the course of the centuries until the present day.
Today, the archaeological area covers 44 hectares and is distinguished by the remarkable state of preservation of the buildings. It is without a doubt one of the most famous and popular sites in the world, with its perfectly stone-paved streets, houses and patrician villas, temples, the Forum, theatres and the unmistakable outline of Mount Vesuvius on the horizon, fascinating and mysterious.
