Pompei & Herculaneum
This place still boasts millions of visitors from all over the world who appreciate the well-preserved ruins, the particular architecture of things and the artistic techniques already famous at the time.
Herculaneum was buried by twenty-three meters of volcanic deposits after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

The excavations offer the visitor the opportunity to observe the urban fabric, the distribution of the houses, the magnificent thermal complex, the sumptuous gymnasium and the monumental basilica.
