メンフィ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The Selinunte Archaeological Park houses the ruins of the Doric temples of the ancient Greek city. Founded in the 7th century BC, Selinunte was an important commercial center before being destroyed by the Carthaginians in 409 BC. Today the park offers a fascinating immersion in history with temples, sanctuaries and the acropolis overlooking the sea.

The ruins of this once mighty Greek city are impressive and give you a glimpse into the ancient world while enjoying the scenic landscape of Sicily's southern coast. It's best to visit the site early in the morning as there is little shade and the site is quite large, so plan plenty of time. The remains of the large temples are particularly fascinating, standing as silent witnesses to the city's former glory. Temples C and E are particularly striking, with the latter partially rebuilt, if not quite to current archaeological standards. Selinunte was one of the most important Greek sites in Sicily. The city flourished before it was eventually taken and largely destroyed by the Carthaginians. The earthquakes that struck the region did the rest, but that's exactly what makes the site so impressive today: the toppled columns and ruins are silent proof of the transience of human architecture. Selinunte is a wonderful place to hike, enjoy the views and immerse yourself in history at the same time. The proximity to the sea also ensures a fresh breeze during your visit.

It's best to visit early in the morning. The area is large and there is almost no shade. I was there for at least 3 hours. Opening times vary depending on the season.
