Policoro was founded in 680 BC by the Greeks colonists from Colophon, but the town was destroyed in the 6th century BC by the Achaean colonies. Afterwards the town was rebuilt in the same place as before and was called Heraclea. In very little time, it became one of the most rich and famous cities in the Magna Graecia. Visiting the Archaeological Park, you will admire the remains of the Greek buildings, while in the National Archaeological Museum you will see many artefacts from others Greek colonies and indigenous centres.
