Paestum is the archaeological area of the ancient Greek city of Poseidonia, with its temples, in the comune of Capaccio Paestum in the province of Salerno, Campania.
Why go
Paestum, the Greek Poseidonia, is an archaeological area near the eastern end of the Gulf of Salerno, in the frazione of Paestum in the comune of Capaccio Paestum. italia.it describes walking in the archaeological area between the temples of Poseidon, Hera and Athena, and an Archaeological Museum that holds metopes and the Tomb of the Diver; the museum is not this record or its map point. The official website Wikidata lists for the site, that of the Parchi archeologici di Paestum e Velia, refused the connection on 9 October 2026, so this record gives no entry or booking rules. The map point is a point inside the mapped archaeological area, not an entrance.
