Ercolano in English is Herculaneum....and Herculaneum is a town that was destroyed when Mount Vesuvius erupted and decimated Pompeii. Herculaneum is better preserved than Pompeii, from what I read, because it was covered in 25 meters of volcanic ash rock for 1700 years. It was fairly interesting...it's right in the middle of a residential area. You're walking along the street and BOOM! Ancient Ruins.
