Heritage Site together with the ruins of Pompeii and Oplonti since 1997, this area was discovered by chance in 1709.<\/p>\n<p>From that moment on, excavations began and brought to light a significant part of the ancient Herculaneum, a city buried by the eruption of 79 AD. The lahars and the pyroclastic flows of material, which, with their high temperature, have carbonized all the organic materials like wood, fabrics, food, have actually allowed to reconstruct the life of that time.<\/p>\n<p>Among others, the Villa dei Pisoni is very famous. Better known as Villa dei Papiri, it was brought to light with the modern excavation of the 90s, during which papyri that preserve the texts of Greek philologists in Herculaneum were found.<\/p>\n<p>Official website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ercolano.beniculturali.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/ercolano.beniculturali.it\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-11249-1-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><strong>Antiquarium<\/strong> of Herculaneum<\/h2>\n<p>It is a completion and integration of the visit to the ruins, it collects artefacts and statues of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-11249-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-11249-2\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-11249-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-11249-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>MAV- <strong>Virtual Archaeological Museum<\/strong> of Herculaneum<\/h2>\n<p>The MAV is not too far from the archaeological excavations of the ancient Herculaneum.

It is flat and slopes gently north towards Campania\u2019s plain. It is about 50 metres above sea level, but when the gentle sea breeze of the afternoon blows, it seems to be much higher up. It is as if it were on the seashore while not seeing it. The soils are sandy enough to make them soft and permeable for the thickness of about two metres, which are necessary for tree crops. They\u2019re made of the fallen materials of the eruption of 1631 mixed with silt for leaching. Below you can find the materials of the eruptions of 530 and 472, but always with a slight superficial thickness of silt that is very useful for the deepest roots.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the fertile land of especially deep root Catalanesca and red vines, but it\u2019s good for almost everything: giant apricot trees, but also monumental cherry trees. They\u2019re all dry crops, but you don\u2019t even notice them in August. Until a few decades ago (since the arrival of agricultural machines that have enlarged the planting pattern), it looked like an \u201cagricultural forest\u201d because nature was so thick, rich and luxuriant. The Angevins and the Aragoneses had a secret summer residence (Starza della Regina) there, which gave high-quality wine, fruit and vegetables. <\/p>\n<p>The Villa was built after the eruption of 79 AD, around 120 AD, just after the vegetative revival of nature devastated by earthquakes caused by one of the most violent eruptions of ancient history. The area must have included a drinking water point or some springs nearby because a large cistern is coming to light. But this is demonstrated even more by the proximity of the Augustan Aqueduct (about two kilometres) that probably took water from this site. The view must have been amazing. A spring (or more springs?) upstream were regimented in a large cistern that fed the villa (or the villas?) and a conduit (or a canal?) that from here, descending to the valley, crossed the main channel of the Augustan Aqueduct (in the gallery) which from Serino brought water to the Piscina Mirabilis. The work of nature and the work of man were together in a landscape from earthly paradise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-11249-6-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-11249-6-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The Villa Augustea presents decorations related to the cult of Dionysus and Pan with bunches of grapes and vine leaves and statues everywhere. After being abandoned by its wealthy owners (around the 3rd century AD), it became a large winery. It was probably the forerunner of Campania\u2019s great cellars for its size and production capacity. At the moment, it represents the largest industrial wine plant discovered in Italy. Everything was destroyed by the eruption of 472 AD.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to destroying the villa, this other devastating Vesuvius eruption changed the geographical features of the whole area. The springs disappeared, the cistern drained, the flow rate of the Augustan Aqueduct at the time (472) was modified. Everything was devastated by tens of metres of thick mud. All its beauty was completely buried and without any witness. The recovery work is just beginning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-11249-6-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_pw_image_banner widget-image-banner panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parconazionaledelvesuvio.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/villa_augustea-siti_archeologici-parco_nazionale_del_vesuvio.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"image-banner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid  image-banner__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parconazionaledelvesuvio.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/villa_augustea-siti_archeologici-parco_nazionale_del_vesuvio.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-banner__content  image-banner__content--normal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"h3  image-banner__title\" style=\"color: #ffffff\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-11249-7\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-11249-7\" data-stretch-type=\"full-stretched\" ><div id=\"pgc-11249-7-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-11249-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-11249-8\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-11249-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-11249-8-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"16\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><strong>Peasant Museum<\/strong>, Arts, Professions and Popular Traditions<\/h2>\n<p>Housed in the ancient cellars and in the garden of the monumental complex of S.
