Between the sea and the hills of Capaccio lies the archaeological site of Paestum, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an exceptional testament to Magna Graecia. Founded around 600 BC by Greek colonists from Sybaris as Poseidonia, in honor of the god Poseidon, the city worshipped Hera as its protective deity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The visitable area includes a section of the city surrounded by defensive walls about 5 km long, protecting iconic temples like Hera I, called the Basilica, the Athenaion or Temple of Ceres, and Hera II, known as the Temple of Neptune. Nearby, the National Archaeological Museum houses Greek and Campanian art treasures, including the famous Tomb of the Diver.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Velia, the ancient Elea, was founded around 540 BC by fleeing Phocaeans from Asia Minor, who took refuge on a promontory near modern-day Marina di Ascea. The city grew in a protected area between two rivers, where the inhabitants built two strategic ports for trade and founded a new community, shared with the peaceful Enotri people. Elea became a cultural and economic hub, thanks to the vibrancy of the Phocaeans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Velia is particularly famous for the Eleatic School, founded by the philosopher Parmenides and carried on by Zeno and Melissus. In the 13th century, a castle was built on the acropolis, which later became a populated center until the 17th century. Today, the Elea-Velia archaeological park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves important structures: ancient walls, the South Marine Gate, and the rare example of a Greek full arch, Porta Rosa, dating back to the 4th century BC, which bridges two city districts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
