Today, after three years of intensive work aimed at the enhancement of the ancient beach of the Herculaneum excavations, by draining and filling the area formerly occupied by the sandy shore, visitors are given free access over the entire area and an understanding of the dynamics that led to the burial of the city.
Herculaneum, much smaller than Pompeii, was a popular resort town dominated by Rome until both were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Excavations uncovered buildings, art, scrolls, and artifacts with few human remains.
