Paestum, also known as Pesto[1], is an ancient city of Magna Graecia called by the Greeks Poseidonia in honor of Poseidon, but very devoted to Athena and Hera. After its conquest by the Lucanians it was called Paistom, to then assume, under the Romans, the name of Paestum. The extension of its inhabited area is still clearly recognizable today, enclosed by its Greek walls, as modified in the Lucanian and then Roman times.

It is located in the Campania region in the province of Salerno, as a fraction of the municipality of Capaccio Paestum, about 30 km south of Salerno (97 km south of Naples); it is located in the Piana del Sele, near the coast, in the Gulf of Salerno, north of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park; the town, near which there are Capaccio Scalo and Lido di Paestum, is served by a railway station of the same name.
