The Heritage of the Greeks in Western Sicily
Overview of your Trapani tour
The archeological area in Selinunte is probably one of the most evocative places in Sicily, also one of the most impressive of all Greek sites, never having been built over in modern times. There have been dramatic restorations of the temples, very successful in spite of some experts' grumbles. In the 5th Century BC it was second only to Syracuse. The archeological site includes several temples, part of the excavated ancient city, amazing ruins more than 2600 years old and a beautiful landscape.
Your Trapani tour itinerary
SELINUNTE: Start with a guided tour at the Eastern Hill with three temples and other interesting excavations dating back to the 7th century B. C. Find huge columns drums in various states, one leaves wondering at the effort of transporting such enormously heavy bits of masonry. Surely only Titans could manage it! Drive with Golf Carts to the Acropolis area with remainders of other temples and the partly excavated ancient city. It is the only classical Greek city where the entire metropolis is still preserved, though mainly buried under sand and earth.
