Herculaneum is named for the mythical Greek god, Hercules, who, according to the legend told by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, founded the city in 1243 BC. Historic analysis, however, suggest that the city was founded by the Oscans or the Etruscans in the 7th century BC, conquered by the Samnites in the 5th century BC.

Visiting The Ruins of Herculaneum

As opposed to Pompeii, it's possible to visit all of Herculaneum in just a few hours. The archaeological park is ideal for those who have limited time but want to experience the thrill of walking in the footsteps of the ancient Romans!

Herculaneum has been preserved like no other in the world, not even nearby Pompeii. The city was buried beneath 16 meters of ash and mud during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, and this layer of detritus saved two-story with interior architecture and décor intact, including features in wood and marble, decorations, jewelry , and even organic remains like food, providing a unique view into the daily lives of the ancient population of Herculaneum.
