About
Paestum, Pompeii and Herculaneum guided tours with Silvia Braggio your personal historic guide. If you are planning a journey to Southern Italy include in your tour a visit to Paestum. The main reason to visit Paestum is to see three of the best preserved Greek temples in Italy, among which the oldest and best preserved of the Doric temples (550 b.C.). The site is very easy to explore, being a flat plain surrounded by fields and wildflowers. The site presents two distinct periods: the Greek city founded around 600 b.C. and the Roman city with public buildings and houses. The three Greek temples you see here today have stood for about 2,500 years.
