Overview

Poseidonia was founded by the Greeks at the end of the 7th century BC. The name was related to the Greek god Poseidon, protector of the sea.

This archaeological area is now one of the best preserved cities from the times of Greek colonization.

We will go to discover the evolution of this ancient city from the Greeks to the Romans through the ruins of temples dedicated to Athena, Hera, Apollo and Zeus.

In Paestum there is also an incredible National Museum that show us some of the most important artifacts of Greek and Roman times, where is possible to see the painted Tomb of the Diver, a masterpiece of 2500 years ago.

Poseidonia/Paestum is a wonderfull cultural heritage protected by the UNESCO.

***The first and the third monday of every month the National Museum is closed***
