After its foundation by Greek colonists under the name of Poseidonia it was eventually conquered by the Lucanians and later by the Romans. The Lucanians renamed it to Paistos and in turn the Romans gave the city its current name. The ruins of Paestum are notable for their three ancient Greek temples, dating back to the 6th century BC, which are in a very good state of preservation. Paestum is home to three magnificent Doric temples, which are thought to be dedicated to the city's namesake Poseidon (known to the Romans as Neptune), Hera and Ceres. The temples of Neptune and Hera are located next to each other at the Southern end of the site, while the smaller Temple of Ceres is at the Northern end.
