Paestum is a true gem of Italy's cultural heritage, renowned for its spectacular Doric temples. According to legend, the town was founded by the Argonauts of Greek mythology. Originally named Poseidonia in honor of Poseidon, the god of the sea, it soon became one of the most prosperous cities in the Mediterranean. Its decline, like that of many ancient cities, paralleled the fall of the Roman Empire.
