Porta Sirena te Paestum 1864 - 1881

"Porta Sirena te Paestum" is a photograph by Giacomo Brogi, taken between 1864 and 1881. The image depicts the ancient Roman archway known as the "Porta Sirena", located in the ruins of Paestum, Italy. The photograph captures the archway's imposing structure, showcasing its weathered stonework and the surrounding vegetation. Brogi's meticulous documentation of the ruins, including the presence of figures in the foreground, offers a glimpse into the site's historical significance and its appeal to 19th-century travelers. This photograph, like many of Brogi's works, exemplifies the artistic and historical value of documenting archaeological sites.
