VELIA EXCAVATIONS
“An Italian jewel nestled in the Costa Campana” (Espresso.Repubblica).
The excavations of Velia for the Romans or Elea for the Greeks represent one of the jewels of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. The remains of this ancient city are located in the territory of Ascea Marina, an important seaside resort located between Agropoli and Palinuro. The happy geographical position of Velia (Elea), located at the center of the ancient trade routes between Greece and Etruria, made it very rich and powerful. Its excavations today enrich the seaside tourism offer of
coastal Cilento.Sea and culture is the golden combination that every Italian resort can offer and that makes a vacation in our country unique. In the morning, tourists can dive into the crystal clear sea of Agropoli, Santa Maria di Castellabate, Acciaroli, Pioppi, Capo Palinuro or Marina di Camerota and in the afternoon they can relive the thrill of walking through the streets or the agora (the forum) of Velia, where great philosophers of the Eleatic school such as Parmenides, Zenone and Melisso certainly walked. The ancient acropolis of Elea (Velia), where an interesting medieval fortification stands today, hosts very suggestive outdoor theatrical performances. One of the reminders of these excavations is the famous Pink Gate, the only example of a 4th century Greek arch, a true jewel of the architecture of the time
