They are physically stored in the PGDATA folder, for example on a default windoze installation you can find it at:

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\data

To be more precise they are in PGDATA\base...

which  OS or distribution is it?

look into the startup script that starts postgresql service.
The path is configurable depends on the package mantainer.
in redhat it used to be /var/lib/data.


if you can connect to the database as superuser you can give the command

 psql# SHOW data_directory;

in recent versions of postgresql.
