Fundamentalmente una aldea pesquera, Herculano era la preferida por su posición sobre la bahía de Nápoles. Se enriqueció porque fue elegida como centro turístico en verano por los romanos acaudalados que construyeron hermosas mansiones decoradas con frescos, mosaicos y fantásticas esculturas. Herculano genera una sensación bastante diferente de la que generan otros centros mundiales antiguos descubiertos hasta hoy, incluida Pompeya. El torrente de lodo fluyendo cuesta abajo desde el volcán sirvió durante siglos como la mejor defensa posible contra los agentes atmosféricos y excavadores ilegales. Mira las casas, las tiendas, los baños, incluidos sus elementos en madera, los productos alimenticios y telas, que se han conservado intactos y ofrecen una mirada única de cómo vivían hace mucho tiempo. En el camino, visita una fábrica de camafeos cercana para ver cómo se fabrica la famosa joya y luego tendrás algo de tiempo para recorrer la tienda.
