The Discovery of a Buried Temple in Paestum: The Advantages of the Geophysical Multi-Sensor Application

A buried temple has been discovered at Paestum, one of Italy's most significant archaeological sites, using advanced geophysical multi-sensor techniques. The discovery, confirmed through combined geomagnetic and ground-penetrating radar surveys, sheds new light on the architectural history of the Magna Graecia period. Located near the Western City Walls and Porta Marina gate, the temple's structure was identified with high accuracy, offering unprecedented insights into the site's past. This finding is considered one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in Italy this century.
