Interesting facts about this location
Villa of the Papyri
The Villa of the Papyri (Italian: Villa dei Papiri, and alternative spelling Villa de Papyri) is a private house in the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum. Situated north-west of the township, the residence sits halfway up the slope of the volcano Vesuvius without other buildings to obstruct the view. The villa suburbana was owned by Julius Caesar's father-in-law, Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus. In AD 79, the eruption of Vesuvius covered all of Herculaneum with some 30 m of volcanic ash.
