Between history, nature and the unique landscapes of western Sicily
The Segesta Archaeological Park is one of the most fascinating cultural destinations in western Sicily and is an unmissable stop for anyone wishing to discover the remains of the ancient Elymian civilisation. Set amongst rolling hills and unspoilt landscapes, the site is home to some of the island’s most famous monuments, which enchant thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. The park’s symbol is the magnificent Doric Temple, built in the 5th century BC and preserved to this day in an exceptional state of conservation. Its secluded location, nestled amongst greenery and surrounded by the hills of the Trapani countryside, creates a setting of extraordinary beauty that makes Segesta one of the most photographed places in Sicily.
At the summit of Mount Barbaro stands the evocative Greek Theatre, from which one can admire spectacular views stretching all the way to the sea. Even today, the theatre hosts classical performances, concerts and cultural events, offering a unique experience in a setting steeped in history and charm.
The entire archaeological site offers nature trails and walking routes that allow visitors to explore the remains of the ancient city, whilst immersed in an environment characterised by typical Mediterranean scrub and landscapes that change colour with the seasons.
Thanks to its strategic location, Segesta is easily accessible from Selinunte and is an ideal destination for those wishing to combine a beach holiday with exploring the most important historical and cultural sites in western Sicily.
