Architecture Paestum - Ancient city south of Naples

[arkitect]

Paestum, Magna Græcia
Greek colony c. 600BCE

Finally managed to get to Paestum. Every time I have been to Naples my plans to travel to Paestum were thwarted by… events.

This time I got lucky.
A quiet Sunday in December… after the morning rain cleared away the sun came out and turned the stone to gold.

I had to look up Paestum and figure out why we didn't go there when we visited that part of Italy in 2023. Answer - we stayed in Sorento and there was more than enough to see in the immediate area (like Pompeii and Herculaneum). We didn't venture any further south than Amalfi. Maybe next time!

100% worthwhile.
Few people go there, because as you said, there is so much to see around Naples.

Great series, Arkitect! Especially the sense of light I am getting from your images - which, interestingly enough, isn't always the same, from one photo to another. What a wonderful place.
