Description

The archaeological site of Herculaneum, which has been world famous for the last three centuries, lies at the heart of a region full of historical and artistic treasures. This volume starts by illustrating the most significant Roman remains on the site itself, and then enables you to discover the whole stretch of coastline: the Golden Mile with its sumptuous villas, the Royal Palace of Portici, the Vesuvius National Park and the historical centres of Resina and Torre del Greco. In this way the region's extraordinary artistic and natural assets can finally be seen as part of a rich cultural heritage.
