"I Papiri" is situated in a unique position, near the entrance of the Theatre of ancient Hercolaneum and the ancient Bourbon shaft, through which at the beginning of 1700, on king Carlo III of Bourbon's order, were carried archaeological finds (statues, walls, objects, columns, marbles, etc.) taken away from the Herculaneum ruins for embellishing the Royal Palace situated in the immediate vicinity of our structure. "I Papiri" is situated on the ancient Herculaneum ruins, in the place where the excavations for bringing to light the city destroyed by the Vesuvius eruption of 79 A.D. began.
