Heraculum (Ercolano)

This is the OTHER town, along with Pompeii, that was both wiped out and preserved by the massive eruption of Mt Vesuvius. We decided to buck the crowd and visit it instead. We were thrilled with the rich findings still on display here in quite a small area, especially since we read that most of the important artifacts have been moved to the Archeological museum in Naples.

This was Pompeii's rich sister so if you want to see the erotica at the brothels you need to go to Pompeii. We are too young to see that stuff anyway.En savoir plus

Margaret NicholsI hear that the mosaics in the museum in Heraculum are the best in the world - even better than Ravenna. Did you get to see them? Envy, envy, envy ...

VoyageurWe didn't want to drive into the center of Naples and park. I would have loved to see the castings from Pompeii that they have there. Alas. Perhaps next time.

VoyageurOops just reread that. I think everything from both Pompeii and Heraculum has been moved to the National Archeological Museum in Naples. There were two museum looking buildings on site there that were quite empty and showing neglect.
