founded by the ancient Greeks when they were in
control of this part of Italy,
then it was known as Poseidonia after the god of the
sea.
The Greek architecture alone is worth a visit so be

itinerary in addition to visiting the three well-
preserved Greek temples that you have to see.
The oldest was built about 550BC and is the Temple
of Hera which is amazing.
