Segesta, Sicily, Italy

segesta was an ancient city in northwestern sicily. it was located on the 410 m high monte barbaro near trapani. in this position segesta controlled the main roads between the coast and the backland, and the gulf of castellammare can be seen from the hill. there is also visual contact with the other two elymian centers, eryx and entella, so that signals could be sent between these three cities. the origin and foundation of segesta are extremely obscure and i did not get the stuff i was reading... seems like nobody really knows 😜 - but who cares... it's a nice view and and short hike up o the hill. next time i'm around i will go swimming... 😜😂😁Read more
