The Segesta archaeological area, one of the most important cities of ancient Sicily, enchants visitors with its well-preserved ruins and its majestic Doric Temple.

The Temple of Segesta is one of the most iconic symbols of Sicily, dating back to the 5th century BC Situated in an archaeological area of extraordinary beauty, the temple stands imposingly on a hill, offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the sea in the distance. Its classical architecture, characterized by Doric columns, is an extraordinary example of ancient Greek art and engineering.

In addition to the famous temple, the archaeological area of Segesta offers the visitor the opportunity to explore the remains of a well-preserved Greek theater, which hosted shows and public events in ancient times.

In Segesta we recommend visiting both the Doric temple and the theatre, for the climb to the theater it is highly recommended (as it is a steep climb) to use the internal shuttle offered by the archaeological park, which costs €2.00 for a return trip.
