Tour Description

Discover the archeological site of Paestum and its amazing Doric temples with an expert local tour guide.

Paestum, once known as Posidonia, was an important Greek colony founded in 600 BC in Magna Graecia. During its history, it was conquered by the Lucanians and then by the Romans, who gave it its current name.
As of today, Paestum is among the most famous and well-preserved archaeological sites in Italy. During this tour you will admire its main highlights, such as the so-called Temple of Neptune, which was built in the 5th century BC and was probably dedicated to Apollo. Listen to the precious insights of our guide about the Roman Amphiteater, one of the earliest extant ones, and the Forum, the ancient center of political and social life of the city. Our knowledgeable guide will then tell you all about the incredible frescoes and the fascinating ruins preserved in the National Museum of Paestum.
