Tour Itinerary and Archaeological Highlights
Tour of Herculaneum:
Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town, was buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was engulfed by a torrent of mud and lava, which preserved wooden structures, household items, and even food remnants. Explore the remarkably well-preserved houses, baths, and frescoes that offer a unique glimpse into Roman daily life.
MAV (Virtual Archaeological Museum):
The MAV provides a modern, immersive experience through advanced technology and virtual reconstructions of the ancient city. This museum enhances your understanding of Herculaneum’s history and the eruption’s impact, offering an innovative perspective on the archaeological findings.
Villas of the Golden Mile:
The Golden Mile is famed for its luxurious villas, constructed during the 18th century by the Neapolitan aristocracy. These splendid estates, with their stunning architecture and elaborate gardens, reflect the opulence of the era and provide insight into the social and cultural dynamics of the time.
Royal Palace of Portici:
Built by Charles of Bourbon in the 18th century, the Royal Palace of Portici served as a summer residence for the royal family. The palace and its grounds house an extensive collection of archaeological artifacts from Herculaneum and Pompeii, offering a regal context to the historical narrative of the region.
Pietrarsa Railway Museum:
Situated on the Bay of Naples, the Pietrarsa Railway Museum occupies a historic locomotive workshop. This museum not only showcases Italy’s rich railway heritage but also provides an intriguing connection to the industrial advancements that shaped modern Italy, juxtaposing the ancient and the contemporary.
