The city of Paestum was a greek colony founded around the end of the 7th century.The archeological site lies in the province of Salerno.
The three temples of Paestum are very well preserved and together with the museum represent an important greek testimony of the greek colonists in Campania region.
The museum is mainly famous for the the burial monument named Tomb of the Diver where inside is represented an enigmatic scene of a lonely young man diving into a stream of water(about 470 BC),
I recommend to visit together with Paestum also the city of Salerno and a Mozzarella factory.

The Ferriere Valley is a protected natural area of Campania in the Province of Salerno.
The trekking to the Ferriere Valley is slightly difficult with a duration of about 3 hours and a vertical drop of 500 meters downhill and uphill 250. You can also see the ruins of paper mills in the twelfth century.
Highly recommended 8 hours tour on the mountains of the Amalfi coast and then take a bath in the sea of Positano!
Santa Sofia church
The church of Santa Sofia is a building of exceptional interest in the European of the early Middle Ages. It was founded by the lombard Duke Arechi II around 760 in Benevento, which was the center of lombard power in southern Italy It has a core consisting of a hexagon at whose vertices are located at six large columns.
The Structure creates games of perspectives, illusory effects breakdowns, closures spaces coordinated to geometric effects. The visit of the city of Benevento is suggested for the richness of Roman ruins and medieval traces.
