Description
Two thousand years ago, Herculaneum was the best choice for a nobleman looking for a peaceful and enchanting place to enjoy a holiday at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. With its sumptuous villas that overlooked the sea, terraces and gardens with colorful flowers where one could read a book and seek solace from the busy winter, it boasted an elegant theatre for live performance, a big gymnasium surrounded by marble columns, magnificent bath houses and bronze statues. Herculaneum was a delight. Today, you can visit what is left of the well-preserved site to see for yourself the original wooden doors, beds, windows and other furniture in the private houses or shops, amazing mosaics and frescoes and the skeletons of the victims found on the beach together with a boat and other objects of the daily life, still intact after such a tragedy. Herculaneum is the place where everything has been frozen in time by the fury of the volcano in 79 A. D.
