EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the Italian sun, the ancient ruins of Paestum in the Campania region of Salerno, Italy, stand as a testament to the rich cultural history of the European peninsula. Established as a Greek colony around 600 BC, Paestum was once an important trading center and thriving city-state. The remains on the right, dating back to approximately 530 BC, are those of the impressive Basilica, one of three ancient temples that have miraculously survived the test of time. The Basilica, with its Doric columns and intricate friezes, showcases the remarkable architectural prowess of the ancient Greeks. Its grandeur and beauty are further accentuated by the vibrant colors of the Italian landscape that surround it, with the lush greenery and the clear blue sky creating a picturesque backdrop. As the sun casts long shadows over the ancient ruins, the sense of history and wonder that envelops Paestum is palpable. The Italians and Europeans who visit this site are not just tourists, but rather, they are stepping back in time, connecting with the past, and gaining a deeper appreciation for the incredible civilization that once flourished in this very spot. The Paestum ruins are a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Greeks and the Italians, and a testament to the power of human ingenuity and creativity. This image, taken in the daylight hours, captures the essence of Paestum – a place where history comes alive, and the past and present converge in a breathtaking display of color and culture.
