    What to expect

    Paestum Archaeological Park

    Paestum is one of the ancient world's best-kept secrets — a Greco-Roman city on the Campanian coast, home to three extraordinarily intact Doric temples built between the 6th and 5th centuries BC.

    Features

    • Temple of Neptune: The largest and most complete of the three temples, built around 450 BC and still standing nearly in full, with original columns and entablature intact.

    • Temple of Ceres: The oldest structure on the site, dating to around 500 BC, used as a Christian church in the medieval period.

    • The Basilica: A mid-6th-century BC temple dedicated to Hera, identifiable by its 18 original columns along each side.

    • Ancient city ruins: Walk through the remains of a 6th-century BC amphitheater, forum, and market: the bones of a once-thriving ancient city.

    National Archaeological Museum

    Inside the onsite museum, you'll find artifacts recovered from the ancient city and surrounding sanctuaries: sculptures, reliefs, painted tomb slabs, and the Tomb of the Diver, a rare 5th-century BC Greek fresco considered one of the most important archaeological finds in Italy.
