Temple of Hera II in Paestum (Poseidonia), earlier and still often known as ”Temple of Poseidon” or ”Temple of Neptunus” due to misidentification. This is the more northern and younger of the two temples of Hera in Paestum.
The Temple of Athena or Temple of Ceres (c. 500 BC) is a Greek temple found at Paestum, built near the so-called Basilica which is much larger than it.
The Temple of Hera, also known as the Basilica, is the oldest of the three great buildings, belonging to the first generation of large stone temples, begun around 560 BC.
Near the Forum, you’ll find the Roman amphitheater, dating back to the late Republican era but modified in the 2nd century AD and split in two by a road in 1829. It had three entrances to the seating area, now only two are visible.
Heroon – Located behind the Forum, this structure was built between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD. Recent excavations suggest it may have been the site of the Greek agora. Its exact purpose is uncertain, but it could have been a heroon, a monument dedicated to individuals heroized after death.
Explore the ancient Ekklesiasterion of Paestum, a remarkable Greek assembly hall, showcasing Italy’s rich archaeological heritage.
The Paestum Archaeological Museum, renowned for its extensive collection of Greek and Roman artifacts, is home to the famous Tomb of the Diver, a unique 5th-century BC frescoed tomb depicting a symbolic leap into the afterlife.
