Segesta



Sicily has a rich history of temple building, dating back to ancient times. The island was home to many different civilizations over the centuries, including the Greeks, Romans, and Normans, each of which left their mark on the island's architecture.

One of the most famous ancient Greek temples in Sicily is the Temple of Concordia, located in the Valley of the Temples near Agrigento. It is considered to be one of the best-preserved Doric temples in the world, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Another notable temple in Sicily is the Temple of Segesta, located in the northwest of the island. This temple is thought to have been built by the Elymian people, an ancient civilization that inhabited Sicily before the arrival of the Greeks. The temple is notable for its unique architecture, which features a single row of columns on each side, rather than the usual two rows.
