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 ancient theater of Segesta not only offers an impressive historical setting, but also a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and mountains of Sicily. If you make it this far, you will not only be greeted by the amphitheater, but also by a setting that extends far beyond the ruins. The curved stone tiers seem to blend seamlessly into the landscape, and on clear days the view stretches as far as the sea. The climb is worth it for any hike, especially if you can enjoy the peace and wind at the top of Monte Barbaro. If you are interested in history, you will have a lot to discover here, as the theater was rebuilt by the Romans and is still amazingly well preserved. And if you are lucky, there might even be a performance taking place - the amphitheater is still in use today. If the walk is too steep for you, there is the option of taking a shuttle. But the climb is worth it, especially if you want to enjoy the view every now and then.

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.

Only a few foundation walls are reminiscent of the ancient city of Egesta on the slopes of Monte Barbaro. The Hellenistic amphitheater, later rebuilt by the Romans as so often in Sicily, is still very well preserved and is even used at certain times. If you don't want to climb the mountain on foot, you can use a shuttle service.

The town of Salemi is a cross-section of Sicilian history. Founded by the Elimi people, this village then experienced the domination of all the populations that influenced the history of the island: from the Carthaginians to the Normans. The latter was responsible for the construction of the fortress that still dominates the city today: the Norman castle. In more recent times Salemi has played an important role in the expedition of Garibaldi's Thousand, freeing itself from Bourbon domination thanks to the initiative of a group of citizens led by Baron Giuseppe Triolo di Sant'Anna.

The ruins of Segesta are located on the slopes of Monte Barbaro, about 305 meters above sea level. Steep slopes on several sides and a wall on the flatter side near the temple protected the city. In this position Segesta controlled the main roads between the coast and the hinterland, and the hill dominates the Gulf of Castellammare. There is also a line of sight to the other two Elymer centers, Eryx and Entella, allowing signals to be sent between these three cities.
