Covered by a flow of mud and lava from the eruption of 79dc, percolano was a residential area with rich villas of the roman élite.

Despite the destruction, a lot of wall paintings and objects were preserved.

From ercolano you can reach the Vesuvius, the origin of the city’s destruction.

From the big cone a particular atmosphere and a wild beauty dominate the gulf of naples.

Various trekking paths can be followed in the park, up to the crater.
