Paestum

The most intact Greek ruins in the world are actually on the other side of Rome from the Greek empire. Rome kept them intact because they were in awe of their massive scale and beauty, as were we.

Temple to Athena


This floor is older than all of the western Hemisphere

The wall ruins of the towns are taller too. The last ones were knee high, but these ones are as tall as Randi here...

There is a whole city of ruins to go with the three temples on site.

An intact doorframe to a villa.

Built with such a beautiful backdrop.
