Herculaneum


Herculaneum, originally uploaded by joellekueng.

On the second day we went to Herculaneum, which is like a smaller version of Pompei in better shape, thanks to the fact that it wasn't covered in ashes but buried in hard lava. The buildings are thus very well conserved. A real must if you go to Naples, you see more than in Pompei in less time, and with less tourists.
On the picture you can see the bay of Naples in the background, and the site of Herculaneum from above.
