What to expect
Visiting the archaeological site of Paestum makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, it is like walking into ancient Greece for a day. Founded in the 6th Century BC by the Greeks, it became Roman property in 273 BC and was then abandoned because of epidemics at the fall of the Roman Empire. The site is completely surrounded by a solid stone wall, still intact, and corresponds to the Ancient City, where all the monuments and meeting points of daily life were enclosed. Within this perimeter, you can admire buildings, temples, the Greek agora, and the Roman forum, all built in different time periods. Among the most famous ruins, it is worth mentioning the three temples built in honor of Athena, Hera, and Neptune, dated between 550 and 400 BC. The site is also known for its wonderful tombs, such as the famous 'Tomb of the Diver'.
Admission Included
A must-visit is the Archaeological Museum of Paestum, inaugurated in 1952 and built with the primary objective of housing the metopes of the Sanctuary of Hera. Today, the Museum presents an exceptional archaeological collection which is also accompanied by works of contemporary art.
