Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Paestum
Once an ancient Greek city founded by colonists, Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Paestum touts three well-preserved temples dedicated to Hera and Poseidon. The Doric columns that once held the roofs stand tall, though only a portion of the roofs remain. The city's defensive walls of the city are partially standing, along with 24 square watchtowers. Four of the original 28 towers were destroyed when the addition of an 18th-century road cut the city in two. Wander the ruins freely on your own, but wear comfortable walking shoes for the dusty terrain. Using our international travel planner, Paestum attractions like Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Paestum can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

The entrance fee (9 euros) also includes a visit to the archaeological site. Interesting Museum, very well kept, with hundreds of exhibits of various periods and panels and movies units in Italian and English. Especially the section dedicated to the grave of the "Diver". Recommended!View original

Very nice relatively small museum, with the metopes of the Heraion Argive (sanctuary of Hera) found nearby. They are situated on top of an inner wall, displayed in the same fashion as if they were on a Greek temple. A lot of graves, including 'la tomba del tuffatore' (The diver's tomb). On the second storey, you'll find the archeological finds of Roman Paestum.
