Selinunte Archaeological Parco

This morning we woke up and had breakfast at home and then went for a walk down to find the fish market enjoyed a cappuccino but there were more men than 🐠. After that we managed to get lost again trying to find the archaeological park but eventually did and it certainly has been worth it. The archaeological site contains many great temples, the earliest dating from 550 BC, with five centred on an acropolis. At its peak before 409 BC the city may have had 30,000 inhabitants, excluding slaves. It was destroyed and abandoned in 250 BC and never reoccupied. However the ruins we saw were truly outstanding. Afterwards we purchased a couple of Sicilian tea towels and had a great antipasta lunch at the Enoteca Sicilia - very yummy lunch.Læs mere
