On the way to Trapani, you will stop in Segesta where you will see the beauties of the fifth century BC Doric Temples. The archaeological site of Segesta is one of the most valuable historic sites in Sicily. A center from ancient origins, the historical rival of Selinunte is located in the western part of the island, surrounded by a green and quiet countryside about 40 km from Trapani. The temple of Segesta, solemnly placed on a hill at the foot of Mount Barbaro, is certainly among the most exciting examples of Greek architecture. Completely isolated from the urban world, its white columns stand out among the green of the landscape. There is a beautifully preserved temple, harmonious in structure, and the most complete that has lasted to our days, as well as the theater, located in the scenic location on Mount Barbaro, approximately 400 meters high. Its construction dates back to the late fifth century BC, during the alliance with Athens. There are a total of 36 columns, not partly scalanated to avoid possible optical illusions (a technique also used in the Parthenon in Athens). The origins of Segesta are ancient enough to merge with the myth of Troy; Legend has it that the foundation of Segesta was the work of Aeneas. What we do know, is that the center was of primary importance to the population of the Elimi, whose ancestry comes from the east and later merged with the local population. Strongly influenced by Greek culture, it soon came into conflict with Selinus, marking in fact its own destiny: after the first clashes came in the sixth century BC, Segesta became the scale tipper for the fate of western Sicily. Scopello s a small but charming seaside village, it is the southern gate of the Zingaro Nature Reserve about 40 kilometers from Trapani.
