Paestum, a captivating and mystical location, is an essential visit for anyone exploring the classic landmarks of Italy. Situated just to the south of the Sorrento Peninsula and Amalfi Coast, and a mile from the coast, this captivating archaeological spot features three Greek temples standing amidst the rural landscape. It’s also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally known as Poseidonia, it was established in the VII century BC by Greek colonists from Sybaris, likely succeeding a pre-existing human settlement. The city was renamed Paestum following Roman conquest, and it thrived until the mouth of the Salso river became overwhelmed with sand, transforming the area into a marshland.
