The main attractions: The temple and the theater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The main attractions of Segesta are certainly the temple and the theater, which have been very well preserved<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>temple has a considerable size of 61.15&#215;26.25, dates back to the 5th century BC and is shrouded in mystery<\/strong> . In fact, there are no traces of the roof and the cell (the internal structure where the statue of the god to be venerated was kept). There are two prevailing theories. The first states that the temple is in fact incomplete, probably due to the conflict with Selinunte. The second theory, perhaps more fascinating, has it that the builders were not the Greeks, but even the Hellenized Elymians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The theater was built around the third century. BC<\/strong> . and is located on the top of the mountain at about 400 meters high. Normally the Greek temples face south, but not this one, which faces north, probably to honor the view of the mountains and the sea. <strong>Here too, as in the Greek theater of Syracuse, classical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calatafimisegestafestival.it\/il-festival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">theatrical performances<\/a> are organized in the summer<\/strong>

Not far from the theater you will find the foundations of the ancient Agora of Segesta, a mosque dating back to the period of Arab colonization and the ruins of Norman buildings, including a castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2022-10-01_17-06-13_076-conv-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Medieval Remains\" class=\"wp-image-27537\" style=\"width:880px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2022-10-01_17-06-13_076-conv-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2022-10-01_17-06-13_076-conv-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2022-10-01_17-06-13_076-conv-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2022-10-01_17-06-13_076-conv.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Medieval Remains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dove-parcheggiare-a-segesta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_park_in_Segesta\"><\/span>Where to park in Segesta<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You have the choice between a private parking or a free one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first one costs about 5 Euro (If you meet an employee at the exit for Segesta who points you to the parking lot, know that this is it).
