A country that is absolutely worth visiting, it was the first capital of Italy, even if only for one day.

The climb along the paved Way of the Cross, which is mostly car-free, takes you steadily uphill. From here you can already enjoy great views of the surrounding hills and wind turbines that dominate the panorama. Once you reach the top, you will be greeted by the imposing ruins of the 11th century castle. A real highlight is the active church of SS. Maria del Alto, which is integrated directly into the old walls. It is a fascinating interplay of history and living faith. The view from above is definitely worth the trip - the vastness of the landscape below you, the small villages in the distance and the gentle breeze make the visit perfect for a break with a view. The old ruin has retained some of its charm over the centuries, and the walk around the castle can be easily captured on camera.

History, culture and breathtaking views of the hilly surroundings are all mixed here. The view of the Norman-Swabian castle that towers over the town is particularly impressive - a perfect destination after a challenging stage. The climb, especially in the Monte delle Rose district, is quite demanding, but the reward is worth it: a spectacular view of the old town and the castle. Salemi is not only a visual highlight, but also steeped in history. In May 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi briefly proclaimed Salemi the first capital of a united Italy - even if the title only lasted for one day. This town combines the legacy of a turbulent past with the charm of a typical Sicilian village, which lies about 400 meters above sea level. Salemi not only offers a historical insight, but also a challenging but worthwhile route through the rural region. When you drive through the winding streets here, you can literally feel how history and the present merge into one another.

The Doric Temple of Segesta is impressively embedded in the hills of Sicily and invites not only history lovers to take a walk into the past. The unfinished construction gives the temple a rough look, but that is precisely what makes it so attractive - the columns still have the original protective layer that would normally have been removed after completion. The hiking trail up rewards you with a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape and the Gulf of Castellammare. What I particularly liked: From the temple, a beautiful path leads further up to the theater, which is located on the top of the hill. If you choose to walk instead of taking the shuttle, you will be rewarded with many smaller discoveries and fantastic views. The entire complex exudes a special calm - it is a place that invites you to linger and makes history tangible. The magic of the ancient site can be enjoyed wonderfully here, especially in the off-season, when there is less going on.

The seaside castle, known as the Arab Norman castle, is a fortification that stands near the marina of Castellammare del Golfo, once an emporium of the city of Segesta. The castle is the symbol of the town on the gulf, but also of the entire island; it is in fact a witness and testimony of all the populations that have crossed Sicily in the last ten centuries.

On 14 May 1860 Giuseppe Garibaldi landed in Marsala and headed towards Salemi. Here he hoisted the Italian flag, a nation that was then forming, on the Norman-Swabian castle, proclaiming Salemi the capital of Italy, an informal title that he retained for only one day. Today Salemi is a splendid town of around 10,000 inhabitants, part of the most beautiful villages in Italy according to the National Association of Italian Municipalities.
