9. The Archeological site of Herculaneum (in Italian: Scavi di Ercolano) is the area south of the town centre of modern Ercolano where the Roman town of Herculaneum has been excavated. Herculaneum was destroyed and buried by lava and mud during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79 together with Pompeii, Stabiae and Oplontis. In 1997 the Herculaneum site was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Although Herculaneum was discovered before Pompeii, the excavation was so difficult that it was repeatedly interrupted in favour of the easier excavation of Pompeii. Herculaneum is smaller and less famous than Pompeii, but better preserved due to the different volcanic materials that covered the town.

11. The House of the Wooden Tramezzo was built in the pre-Roman age, around the 1st century BC. The house has a typical patrician facade that ends with an oval cornice while at the base it has masonry seats used by waiting clientes before being received by the owner; along the walls of the entrance jaws there remain traces of stucco on which frescoes had been made, but these are faded by time. On the east side of the atrium is the tablinum: the two rooms are divided by means of a partition, i.e., a kind of folding door, as tall as a man, made entirely of wood, charred as a result of the eruption, with shaped doors and large bronze rings on which lamps were rested.

About Napels

Gepassioneerd en chaotisch onder de Vesuvius is Napels de geboorteplaats van de pizza en de poort naar Pompeji, Capri en de Amalfikust.

Het historische centrum, een dicht stratenraster dat de oude Grieken aanlegden, is een wereld van kerken, straatkapelletjes en wasgoed dat tussen balkons hangt. Spaccanapoli snijdt er recht doorheen, de Via San Gregorio Armeno staat vol werkplaatsen voor kerststallen, en de Sansevero-kapel herbergt de verbluffende Gesluierde Christus. Onder de grond onthullen tunnels en reservoirs de Griekse en Romeinse stad eronder.

Top-ranked sights in Napels: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
