Segesta, Sicily - Ancient Temple & Theater in the Rolling Hills!

Located in the valleys of Western Sicily, a jaw-dropping Greek Temple and Theater rise up out of the rolling hills to dominate the entire area, truly making a statement! In today's episode, we are in the ancient city of Segesta as we make our way from Palermo to Trapani to explore a new part of Sicily. We marvel at the imposing magnitude of a Temple having been thought to have been built in the 420s BC by a Greek cult, before climbing to a Theater built on the highest peak of Mount Barbaro, offering a spectacular view of the valley and Gulf of Castellammare, Trapani.

Segesta was one of the major cities of the Elymians, one of the three indigenous peoples of Sicily. The other major cities of the Elymians were Eryx and Entella. It is located in the northwestern part of Sicily in Italy, near the modern commune of Calatafimi-Segesta in the province of Trapani.
