A night walk in this magnificent setting will catapult you into a unique atmosphere among the works of the great past civilizations... #UNESCO heritage... #tuttitaly
Paestum is located in the Municipality of Carpaccio in the Province of Salerno, an archaeological site of extreme importance recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Greeks founded Paestum around the seventh century B.C. with the name of Poseidonia. Later it was occupied by the Lucanians until 273 BC, when Rome colonized it and gave it its current name.
What fascinates me the most about this place is the vision of three majestic temples on a green plain. These reflect a different light according to the hours and seasons; this is an extraordinary example of the Doric style.
The oldest, dating back to the sixth century. BC is the Temple of Hera. The Temple of Neptune (5th century BC) is majestic and elegant at the same time, which looks like a splendid construction in travertine of a warm golden color that varies in shades at different times of the day.
The Temple of Ceres (6th century BC), dedicated to the goddess Athena, was transformed into a church in medieval times and houses three Christian tombs leaning against the outer wall.
A night walk accompanied by the music and lights that animate the tour allows you to immerse yourself in an indescribable atmosphere among the works of the great civilizations of the past.
