Virtual tour of Herculaneum, documenting the site as it was during the northern summer of 2001. Click on the node-markers to view a QuickTime VR panorama (in a new window).

Most of the panoramas contain hotspots linking adjacent nodes - indicated by the special cursor - so it is also possible to explore the site using these, instead of the node-markers, or a mix of both.

Selected panoramas can be viewed at higher resolution in the fullscreen gallery. A selection of stills (zoomable) can be found in the still images gallery.

The menu of houses and other areas at left accesses additional, more recent coverage (including revisits) made between 2003 and 2006. Click below for plan of site to scale (including Villa dei Papiri).
