Archaeological Park of Segesta - Calatafimi Segesta (TP) - Sicily

Segesta is famous for its well-preserved Doric temple, built around 420 BC, which is one of the best examples of Greek architecture in Sicily. The temple of Segesta was built without the use of mortar, using only large blocks of limestone cut with precision... #tuttitaly

Archaeological Park of Segesta - Calatafimi Segesta (TP) - Sicily

Located in Segesta, the Archaeological Park encloses the millennia-old history of this ancient city that experienced periods of prosperity and transformations throughout the centuries. Among its testimonies, one can admire remains dating back to the ancient Greek period, Roman domination, and subsequent Byzantine, Muslim, Norman, and Swabian influences.

In the heart of the North Acropolis, public buildings, an Agora, a theater, and a church emerge, dating back to different historical periods. Along the slopes of the mountain, the oldest city dwellings dating back to the 6th century BC can be seen. The urban layout extended over two peaks, North and South, connected by a saddle and defended by natural walls.


One of the most striking monuments in the Park is the Temple of Doric-Sicilian type, a peripteral structure with columns that testify to the classical architecture of Sicilian cities. The sacred building was never completed, leaving mysteries about the cult to which it was dedicated and the altar, but certainly brings us back to ancient rituals.

The defensive wall surrounding the city, with towers and monumental gates, shows the evolution of fortifications over the centuries. The theater, dating back to the mid-1st century BC, bears witness to the entertainment shows that enlivened the Segesta's inhabitants' days.


The Archaeological Park of Segesta is a place that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the history and art of an ancient city, offering a suggestive glimpse of the past that continues to fascinate and raise questions about the events of this fascinating civilization.
