The Journey
Paestum Archaeological Area
Step into the ancient world at the Archaeological Area of Paestum, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its stunningly preserved Greek temples. Founded around 600 B.C.E. by the Greeks, initially called Poseidonia, Paestum boasts three majestic Doric temples dedicated to Hera and Athena, set against a lush green landscape. Marvel at the Temple of Hera (6th century BC), the oldest, and the Temple of Neptune (5th century BC), a grandiose travertine construction with a warm golden hue. Don't miss the Temple of Ceres, actually dedicated to Athena. This archaeological wonder has inspired artists and writers for centuries, offering a tangible connection to Magna Graecia's rich history and artistic legacy.
Paestum Archaeological Museum
Complement your exploration of the temples with a visit to the Paestum Archaeological Museum, home to a rich collection of ancient Greek and Lucanian artifacts discovered in the surrounding necropolises. The museum's highlight is the Tomb of the Diver, a unique example of Greek painting from Magna Graecia. This exceptional artwork depicts a man diving into the waves, symbolizing the deceased's transition from earthly life to the unknown afterlife. Explore the museum's diverse exhibits to gain deeper insights into the daily life, art, and culture of the ancient inhabitants of Paestum.
