Due to bad weather, a landslide has occurred in the Herculaneum Archaeological Park. In progress verifications.

According to an announcement by the press office of the Herculaneum Archaeological Park, "due to the bad weather and heavy rains of the past few days, there was a cortical slip of soil tonight in the southeastern part of the escarpment of the avenue that connects the modern city with the ancient city. About 150 square meters of the affected area spilled into the lower part of the Park, committing the garden of the domus of Telefo, an area already previously closed to the public. Technicians from the Archaeological Park are already on site to verify the extent of the damage and immediately begin the first operations to secure and restore the rooms.
The area had been undergoing routine maintenance work for months, so it was already interdicted to the public."

The slip occurred along Maiuri Avenue. Checks are underway.
