Sign in to saveAlso known as Resìna
Ercolano () is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania of Southern Italy. It lies at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, on the Bay of Naples, just southeast of the city of Naples. The medieval town of Resina () was built on the volcanic material left by the eruption of Vesuvius (79 AD) that destroyed the ancient city of Herculaneum, from which the present name is derived. Ercolano is a resort and the starting point for excursions to the excavations of Herculaneum and for the ascent of Vesuvius by bus. The town also manufactures leather goods, buttons, glass, and wine.
Ercolano is a town in southern Italy built atop the volcanic remains of the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum, which was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD. Today it serves as a gateway for visitors exploring the archaeological excavations of Herculaneum and climbing Mount Vesuvius, while also functioning as a modern resort and manufacturing center.
