Archaeological Park of Segesta

Calatafimi (TP) – Archaeological Park of Segesta

On the  slopes of Mount  Barbaro, among the green hills of the hinterland of Castellammare del Golfo, there are the ruins of the ancient capital city of the Elymians, according to legend founded by refugees from Troy. The city, for historical reasons, in constant conflict with the nearby Selinunte, preserves a Doric temple that, solemn and isolated,  still stands intact and, at the top of the mountain, there are the remains of a well preserved theatre dating back to the 3rd century BC. It is a unique landscape.
