Clouds Arena - Templi di Paestum Concerts 2024

🏛In my opinion a little bit too expensive. The price is the same as the one in Pompei with the difference that Pomepi is 4 times bigger and it takes more to visit and much more details to look at. However the site is of an inestimable importance and its absolultly worth it to visit. 📍The valley of Paestum is special to me for a mix of reasons ( the morphology- food - weather - history- traditions) The If you like sunsets and history you can here combine that if you visit it on a sunny and clear day. 🌅

To the east of the Italic Temple is a small Anfiteatro or Roman Amphiteater. Central element of Roman Paestum, the amphitheater was built around 50 BC to towards the end of the 1st century AD. An external ring has been added to increase its capacity. Only the southern half of theater is still visible. In 1930, Highway 18 was built across the site, burying the northern half. The road was designed to pass by the ruins in order to provide the experience of seeing the ruins up close, but without thinking about what was still hidden. It is said by local inhabitants that the civil engineer responsible was tried, convicted and received a prison sentence for what was described as wanton destruction of a historic site.

Interesting site on way between the two temple complexes

Just incredible - a definite must visit

Currently it's closed so you can only see it from the street
