The Archeological site of Herculaneum (in Italian: Scavi di Ercolano) is the area south of the town centre of modern Ercolano where the Roman town of Herculaneum has been excavated. Herculaneum was destroyed and buried by lava and mud during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79 together with Pompeii , Stabiae and Oplontis .
Excavations continued sporadically up to the present and today many streets and buildings are visible, although over 75% of the town remains buried.
