		+	| summary= The town and port of Agropoli lie on the Tyrrhenian coast of [[Italy]] some 27 miles SSE of [[Salerno]] and six miles S of the World Heritage Site of Paestum. The town developed during the late Roman period, largely due to the silting up of the ancient Greek harbour of Poseidonia (subsequently renamed Paestum by the Romans). The site was originally fortified as a harbour by the Byzantines in the 6th century AD. The naturally well-protected town passed through a succession of hands (including Saracens from North Africa) until Italian unification in the 19th century. Today its small harbour is a useful port of call for cruising yachts wishing to visit the ruins of Paestum.

Tourism

The mediaeval old town, full of steep, narrow alleys, is fun to explore. At the top is the town’s castle, constructed in the 16th century on Byzantine foundations. There are some pleasant walks along the coast, with views as far as Vesuvius on a clear day. But the chief attraction of Agropoli is the nearby site of Paestum six miles to the north, with its superb 5th and 6th century BC temples and excellent museum containing fascinating tomb paintings from the late Lucanian civilisation, including the well-known ‘Tomb of the Diver’ featuring a symbolic ‘dive’ into the afterlife, and several carved metopes from the Temple of Hera.
