Wonders of Paestum: archaeological park and museum

One of the most beautiful colonies of Magna Grecia, Poseidonia-Paestum, an ancient city founded by Sibarites along the coast, in a vast, fertile and flat territory, conquered centuries later by the Lucanians and the Romans. Unparalleled treasures of its glorious past are the three Doric temples, in perfect condition, rising with power and energy among the remains of other buildings, such as a Roman amphitheater, the forum square,  shops, the comitium, the basilica,  houses and streets.
In the museum there is a wide choice of exclusive artefacts, such as the archaic carved metopes, painted ceramic grave goods, votive gifts, frescoed tombs of unexpected elegance and quality, such as the Tomb of the Diver, absolute masterpiece, whose painted scenes catch the attention of visitors,  transporting them into a mysterious, charming dimension!
Visiting this place is a unique experience, where eyes, ears and heart are deeply impressed.
