Dit kun je verwachten

Net als het nabijgelegen Pompeï onderging het oude Herculaneum een soortgelijk lot door de Vesuvius die in 79 na Christus uitbarstte. Gelukkig is het archeologen gelukt om delen van de stad op te graven, en op deze halve dag zie je wat er tot nu toe is gevonden.

Herculaneum is op tragische wijze begraven door de lava en as, en gefossiliseerd in de tijd. Een wandeling bij de archeologische site is alsof je in een openlucht geschiedenisboek loopt. Op deze tocht ga je in een ochtend van en naar de site. En je hebt genoeg tijd om de historische overblijfselen te verkennen tijdens de rondwandeling.

Je ziet zelfs bewaard gebleven meubels, bovenste houten vloeren van huizen, mozaïeken op de vloer en sculpturen als je een kijkje neemt in de huizen en straten. Geen wonder dat het UNESCO-werelderfgoedlocatie is. Je krijgt een ongeëvenaard inzicht in het leven van de oude Romeinen.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Roman Life Uncovered - Villas of Oplontis & Pompeii

Begin with a short drive to the foothills of Mt. Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient city preserved by volcanic eruption. Wander down cobblestone streets to the Forum, once the hub of Roman life. Follow ancient paths to impressive villas and grand spaces like the House of the Faun with its rich mosaics. Sit in the arena of the theater and study the colossal columns of the Basilica. You'll also visit areas of everyday life like the baths and taverns. You will see the exterior of the opulent Casa della Regina Carolina, one of the ancient city's largest villas located in an elite neighborhood near the Forum. Learn insights into the ongoing research started by National Geographic Explorer Caitlin Ellis Barret as you hear about the villa and the daily domestic activities of its wealthy inhabitants. After a light lunch, continue your journey to the port of Torre Annunziata, where you'll descend below street level to ancient Oplontis. As a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area and its two sprawling villas boast some of the best-preserved wall paintings of the Roman period. Your archeologist guide will offer historical, cultural and architectural context as you take in Oplontis' wonders. Once inhabited by the Roman elite, marvel at Pompeiian-style frescoes and mosaics, finished with deep azures, oranges, and sunny golds. The intricate use of colour and shading gives these paintings a three-dimensional feel, adding a lifelike quality to these ancient scenes.
