Archaeological Park of Paestum

An ancient legend tells of Giason, leader of the the Argonauts' consignment, who arrived to the mouths of the Sele to found the sanctuary in honour of Hera. Here, across the river, Greek settlers coming from Sibari founded Poseidonia around 600 B.C. We will visit its majestic temples, the square intended for political and commercial activities, some shops and houses. The itinerary will continue inside the Archaeological Museum, trying to get the history of the Greek city through the artifacts coming from the archaeological area: architectural materials of the temples, Greek vases decorated with mythological episodes, but above all the famous Tomb of the Diver, extraordinary document for its uniqueness.
