Archaeological Park of Eercolano

DESCRIPTION

The archaeological area of Herculaneum has been included, since 1997, together with the excavations of Pompeii and the villas of Oplontis, in the list of world heritage sites drawn up by UNESCO. Herculaneum, therefore, represents a "serial" component of the Unesco site, "Archaeological areas of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata", consisting of monuments and archaeological areas owned by the Italian State managed directly by the Ministry for Heritage and Cultural Activities through a peripheral body (UNESCO Office Site 829, near Pompeii).
