(Sunday) Segesta (max 4,5 hours)
|
 |
|
This afternoon depart for
Segesta -- it looks as if it were built yesterday. Segesta's ancient
Greek temple makes a valid claim to being the best preserved in the
world, and its amphitheatre boasts a hilltop position on Mount Barbaro
second to none. The magnificent Doric temple--whose roof was never added
and the pillars never fluted-- is impressive as one of the highlights of
a large archeological park. The archaeological site reflects the
presence of several ancient civilizations, beginning with the elusive
Elymians. Later back to Palermo.
