Two thousand years later, the landscape is still breathtaking and the view still tranquil.  In nearby Herculaneum and Pompeii, however, history tells a more troubled tale.  As we visit the lava-bound cities, we’ll discover life in the 1st century A.D. and learn about the archaeology that brought their treasures to light.

Buried under mud and ash for more than 1500 years, these marvels of art and urban design will excite the imagination and give new perspective on the rich history of the Roman Empire.
