Description: Paestum is an important city of the Magna Graecia, unique in the world for three reasons: 1. Because its walled perimeter is wholly preserved - about five kilometers of defensive wall; 2. Because it has the privilege of possessing the three forms of Greek art which have been saved from oblivion, i.e., painting, sculpture and architecture; 3. Because near to the so-called Tomb of the Diver sublime evidence of Greek murals it possesses a collection of Lucanian funeral frescoes, which for quality, quantity and variety are absolutely unique examples of their kind. The result of the cities built by the Greeks in Southern Italy that constitute the so called Magna Graecia were settled by Greek immigrants who are considered so refined and advanced in regards to historic, political, cultural, artistic and religious qualities that they were able to surpass their mother country.
