Sanctuary of Demeter Malophoros, Greek sanctuary in Selinunte, Italy.
The Sanctuary of Demeter Malophoros contains an archaic altar, a sacred enclosure, and fourth-century BC Doric-style propylaea within its grounds.
Archaeological excavations at the sanctuary began in March 1874 under Cavallari and reached completion in spring 1894 under Antonino Salinas.
This religious complex served as a primary center for worshipping Demeter, a central deity of grain and fertility in ancient Greek mythology.
The archaeological site features marked paths connecting the sanctuary to other monuments, with information panels available in multiple languages.
The temple structure incorporates an enclosed pronaos and adyton, positioned with an eastern orientation following specific ritual requirements.
