    Velia, or ancient Elea, is a World Heritage monument. Walking among the ruins of this ancient Greek polis, it almost seems to hear Parmenides, Zeno and the great philosophers of the Eleatic school discussing the meaning of life. The view then from the medieval tower is breathtaking.

    Beautiful archaeological area near Casal Velino and Ascea.
    The site is located near a cycle path, part of "La Via Silente".
    A stop is a must.

    Together with Paestum, the archaeological area of Velia is one of the greatest testimonies we have of Magna Graecia.
