Rich golden beaches, this is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, with the most extraordinary collection of ancient ruins. Founded by Greek colonists in the 6th century BC, Selinunte enjoyed two centuries of prosperity before being destroyed by Carthage. It was never rebuilt. Visitors today will find columns and stones strewn around the peaceful countryside. Swinburne, the English poet, described it as one of the most gigantic and sublime ruins imaginable.
