Temple F, Ancient Greek temple ruins in Selinunte, Italy.

Temple F is a Doric peripteral temple on Selinunte's East Hill, with six columns on the front and fourteen on the flanks. The columns lack entasis except on the facade, and the interior had a pronaos with four columns, a narrow naos and an adyton at the rear. A masonry barrier about half the height of the columns closed the spaces between the outer columns.

The building was constructed between 550 and 540 BC as part of Selinunte's religious center. The city was destroyed by Carthaginian forces in 409 BC, which ended the temple's active use.

The temple's dedication is uncertain: sources name Dionysus or Athena. Two half-metopes found in 1823, carved in tufa, show Dionysus about to kill a giant and Athena victorious over Enceladus; they are kept at the Antonino Salinas Regional Archeological Museum in Palermo, not on site.

You reach the temple by walking through paths in the archaeological zone on the eastern hill, open daily from sunrise to sunset year-round. The walk across the ground requires good shoes and water during warmer months.

The building has stone screens between its columns, a rare design among Greek temples that researchers still puzzle over today. This construction is one of the most mysterious aspects of ancient architecture at this site.
