Poseidonia was founded by the greeks in 600BC and renamed Paestum by the romans in 273BC when it became a roman colony. Three temples in a fairly good shape makes a visit very interesting. Temple of Hera, Poseidon and Athena.
The greeks built grand monuments when they settled in Italy and Sicily in the 8th and the 6th centuries
