Magna Graecia Virtual Tour: Greeks in Southern Italy
Welcome to a captivating virtual tour through the fascinating lands of Magna Graecia, an ancient region in Southern Italy steeped in Greek culture, art, and history. In this adventure, we’ll embark on a journey through time to explore the remarkable remnants of this ancient Greek world that took root in Italy over two millennia ago.
Historians consider Magna Graecia as an essential part of Greek culture in Italy, and its influence left an indelible mark on the Italian Peninsula. This region played host to remarkable individuals, including legendary athletes like Milo and celebrated mathematicians like Archimedes and Pythagoras.
Our journey takes us through the most important centers of Southern Italy, where cities were founded and magnificent temples were erected. We’ll virtually visit places like Paestum in Campania and Agrigento in Sicily, where the grandeur of Greek architecture still stands testament to the past.
From the historic city of Syracuse in Sicily, where we’ll explore the Greek Theater and the Ear of Dionysius, to Taranto in Puglia, a city founded by Spartan exiles, to Reggio Calabria, home to the famed Bronzes of Riace, our virtual tour will take you on a journey through the heart of Magna Graecia.
