But this period of prosperity was abruptly interrupted in 63 ha. By a violent earthquake, the beginning of the Vesuvius eruption of August 24, 79. The city remained buried under the lava almost until 1748, when it was undertaken - in a discontinuous way - the first searches.

Seul déception ne pas pouvoir approché les corps de plus près.
Hors saison, peu de monde mais beaucoup de travaux de restauration et donc de lieux fermés au public.
Se visite avec la Campania ArteCard.
L'idéal est d'arriver avec Trenitalia et repartir avec le Circumvesuviana ou le contraire (tout dépend si vous visitez Herculaneum avant ou après) afin de de ne pas devoir retourner sur vos pas car le site est grand.
