What to expect
Paestum Archaeological Park
Founded by Greek colonists as Poseidonia in the 6th century BC, Paestum is the most remarkably preserved Graeco-Roman city in existence and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your certified archaeologist guide will walk you through the full sweep of the park over approximately 1.5 hours.
Features
The three Doric temples: Stand at the foot of the Temple of Neptune, the Temple of Hera (Basilica), and the Temple of Ceres, all dating to the 6th century BC. Your guide will explain the architectural details, religious significance, and the stories behind each one — including why you can step inside one of these temples in a way you simply cannot at the Parthenon.
Roman Paestum: Discover the city's second life as a Roman colony. Walk past the comitium (political assembly hall), the amphitheater, the forum, and stretches of the original city walls, learning how two of history's greatest civilizations layered their imprints on the same ground.
National Archaeological Museum: Conclude the tour with a visit to the on-site museum, home to an extraordinary collection of Magna Graecia artifacts. The undisputed centrepiece is the Tomb of the Diver, a rare and breathtaking example of Greek funerary painting. Also on display: the red-figure krater of Asteas and Greek artworks dating back to the 7th century BC.
Upgrades: Book a privtae 2- or 3-hour tour for a more personalized experience.
