Paestum

Paestum

Paestum it is a city that has its roots in the distant past Magna Graecia. At that time the Greeks called it Poseidonia in honor of the god of the sea, although very devoted to Athena and It was. After its conquest by the Lucanians it was called Paistom, later assuming, under the Romans, the name by which we know it today.
The country is part of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park, in the hamlet of Capaccio, located in Sele Plain, close to the coast of Gulf of Salerno.
What captures visitors' attention the most is the majesty of the ruins perfectly situated against the backdrop of a breathtaking landscape, which make up the entire archeological area. The temples, especially if admired in the light of sunset, they make the atmosphere even more magical and, together with those of Athens and Agrigento, are considered among the best preserved temples in the world.
