Excursions

Every summer, thousands of visitors flock to Segesta for theatrical and musical performances held in the Greek amphitheatre, which sits on Mount Barbaro 400 meters above sea level. Famous are the 36 columns of the Temple of Segesta, built in the Doric style by the Elymians, an indigenous people of Sicily. It was allied with Athens, then with Carthage, and after the Punic Wars became a Roman free city. Surrounded by rolling countryside, this is an enchanting ancient site.
