The Site of Paestum in Italy
Paestum was a major ancient Greek city on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in Magna Graecia.
The ruins of Paestum are famous for their three ancient Greek temples in the Doric order, dating from about 600 to 450 BC, which are in a very good state of preservation.
The city walls and amphitheater are largely intact, and the bottom of the walls of many other structures remain, as well as paved roads.
The site is open to the public, and there is a modern national museum within it, which also contains the finds from the associated Greek site of Foce del Sele
