The Journey

1

Selinunte Archaeological Park

Step back in time at Selinunte Archaeological Park, one of Europe's largest archaeological sites, spanning approximately 270 hectares in Marinella di Selinunte, Sicily. Founded around 650 BC by Greek settlers from Megara Hyblaea, Selinunte flourished as a powerful city before its destruction in 409 BC. Wander through the evocative ruins of seven temples—including the iconic Temple E— sanctuaries, and residential areas, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this ancient civilization. Don't miss the nearby Cave di Cusa quarries, where massive stone blocks were hewn for Selinunte's monumental constructions, abruptly abandoned after the Carthaginian invasion. Prepare for security lines and immerse yourself in the grandeur and tragedy of this remarkable Greek colony.

This entry ticket includes skip-the-ticket-line access to Selinunte Archaeological Park for one adult. It does not include a live guide, food, drinks, or transportation to the park. Please note that while you can skip the ticket line, security lines are mandatory for all visitors.

Hot Tip

Bring lots of water and wear a hat and sunscreen, especially if you're visiting during the summer. There is not much shade, so it can get very hot. Also, wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking.
