Introduction<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The former capital of the Elimians (a people of peninsular culture and tradition who, according to tradition, came from Troia). <\/span>The city is located in the northwest of the largest island in Italy, <\/span><\/span>Sicily<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> . <\/span>It was known to the Greeks as Egesta and is impressive for its amazing state of conservation. <\/span><\/span>Read also <\/span><\/span>What are the 10 must-see cities in Sicily?<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A bit of history<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The city was completely destroyed in 307 BC during fighting for dominion over the territory, but it was rebuilt. <\/span>In 276 BC, it allied with Pirro of Epirus, but ended up surrendering to the Romans in 260 BC, who granted Segesta the status of a free city. <\/span>There is little information about the city, including Roman domination, however, it is known that after an invasion by the vandals, the city was destroyed again and today it is a beautiful archaeological site with several monuments. <\/span>The park is divided, basically, into two parts: Mount Barbaro and the Temple.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start by talking about Mount Barbaro, where you can arrive by bus or on foot (a very arduous walk, by the way: 2 km uphill!); <\/span>it also houses the old amphitheater, the Castle and the remains of a Church, which are more recent constructions. <\/span>A <\/span><\/span>lso read <\/span><\/span>Car itinerary in Sicily! <\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong>and <\/span><\/span>Itinerary with public transport in southern Italy!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
