Parco Archeologico di Segesta

The Segesta Archaeological Park contains a Greek temple with 36 columns and a semicircular theater carved into Mount Barbaro at 400 meters elevation.

The Elymians established this settlement in the 5th century BC, developing it into a center of commerce between Greek, Punic, and indigenous populations.

The theater, positioned on Monte Barbaro, hosts classical performances during summer festivals, connecting modern audiences with ancient dramatic traditions.

The archaeological site provides a shuttle service from the entrance to the theater area, as the distance between monuments requires substantial walking.

The Doric temple remains completely intact despite never being completed, with unfluted columns and absence of a roof or internal chamber.
