119: Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius (Naples, Italy)

In this espiode we keep exploring the Naples area and the amazzing attractions near to the city by visiting the town of Herculaneum. While Pompeii is the more famous town destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum is as fascinating and worth visiting. The town was submerged by a river of mud and so was very well preserved. It is many metres below current ground level and only a quarter has been excavated for viewing. Better preserved than Pompeii it is a fascinating insight into life in Roam times. This podacst gives my take on the history and provides tips for travellers visiting the area.
