Area Archeologica di Paestum

Directions

From Salerno, Italy, follow the SS18 straight south to Paestum and then the signs to the archeological site. The distance amounts to round about 50 km. In the neighbourhood is a notable museum of ancient greek relics.

The archaeological site contains three Dorian temples (Hera, Athene and Poseidon, between 540 – 450 before Christ). Furthermore, you can visit a little amphitheater. In my opinion, the site shines most at dusk because the sun goes down at the right position behind the temples. Despite that, the relics are beautiful illuminated at night. As always, I suggest carrying a tripod for low light conditions.
