Info:

Buried along with Pompeii by the eruption of mount Vesuivus in the 79 A.D.
The city was covered with mud and lava flows. Pyroclastic materials that having solidified, have created several layers of a solid tufaceous rock, reaching in some areas an height of 20 meters or more. The whole intact wooden-structures, still visible, of what used to be sumptuous dwellings as well as their expensive furnishings and decorations make Herculaneum a place unique in the world.
