it is possible to visit the ancient acropolis with a beautiful view of the surrounding temples, the sea and the Mediterranean scrub<\/strong> . Here you can admire the remains of ancient neighborhoods, the city&#8217;s northern gateway and city walls.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going towards the sea you will instead see the ruins of temples A, B, C, D and O. Temple C, dedicated to Apollo is the only one to still have some intact columns, thanks to restoration work around 1920. The beauty and historical richness of this place is testified by the presence, around temples C and D, of the ruins of an ancient Byzantine village. Finally, in the south end, there is the Traveler&#8217;s House, which houses archaeological finds and offers a beautiful view of the sea and the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selionte_Acropole.jpg\" alt=\"Acropolis, Selinunte\" class=\"wp-image-6529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selionte_Acropole.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selionte_Acropole-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selionte_Acropole-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Selionte_Acropole.jpg\">Urban ~ commonswiki assumed (based on copyright claims).<\/a> ,<a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1024px-Selinute_acropolis.jpg\" alt=\"Acropolis, Selinunte\" class=\"wp-image-6532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1024px-Selinute_acropolis.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1024px-Selinute_acropolis-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1024px-Selinute_acropolis-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Selinute_acropolis.jpg\">Dedda71<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selinunte-Akropolis-bjs-3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Acropolis, Selinunte\" class=\"wp-image-6543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selinunte-Akropolis-bjs-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selinunte-Akropolis-bjs-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selinunte-Akropolis-bjs-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Selinunte-Akropolis-bjs-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Selinunte-Akropolis-bjs-3.jpg\">Bjs<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-santuario-della-malophoros\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sanctuary_of_the_Malophoros\"><\/span>Sanctuary of the Malophoros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Sanctuary of the Malophoros was a sacred place composed of a small archaic altar, a larger one for sacrifices and a temple dedicated to the Malaphoros &#8220;Bearer of pomegranate&#8221; identified with Demeter.<\/strong> It was also used in subsequent periods to the Greek one, for example the Byzantines used to practice their cults here.
