Paestum has been declared Heritage of Humanity by Unesco. At present Paestum is one of the most famous archaeological sites. Almost entirely enclosed in the walls of the ancient Greek colony, with a pentagonal plan with four large doors, among which the most interesting is the Porta Marina. The three Doric temples form the best architectural complex of “Magna Grecia”, the Poseidon temple (Nettuno – 5th century b.C.), the Cerere temple (dedicated to the goddess Athena), and the most ancient, the 6th century Basilica, that is a temple presently dedicated to Hera (the most important divinity in Paestum).
