Archeology

   The Excavations and the Museum of Paestum, the Excavations of Velia, the Virtual Museum of Hera Argiva at the mouth of the river Sele. Paestum (the ancient Poseidonia of the Magna Grecia) is one of the most prominent archeological sites in Italy. 

   The town is surrounded by well kept Roman walls which are 5 km long. It includes the three famous and imposing Doric temples of the VI and V century BC, and the Archeological Museum which houses the precious fresco of The Diver. 

   Velia is the Roman name for the ancient Greek town of Helea, founded circa 540 BC. Archeological excavations have gradually unveiled the remains of this town, and just recently the amphitheatre and the Porta Rosa (Pink Door). 

   The sanctuary of Hera Argiva, located at the mouth of the river Sele, is hidden amongst vegetation. In ancient times the foundation of this temple, actually built in VII century BC, was attributed to Jason (the mythological husband of Medea) and his Argonauts. 

   The newly built Virtual Museum examines these fascinating aspects of the past.
