Selinunte, named after the wild parsley (selinon) that grows by the Modion River, was founded around 650 BC by settlers from Megara Hyblaia. The city's architecture spread across two hills with a fortified Acropolis filled with temples and homes and a large settlement on Manuzza Hill featuring a central marketplace. Explore the archaeological site within the historic ruins of Selinunte, an ancient city overtaken by the Romans. Walk among the ruins of grand temples, offering beautiful views of the sea. At the top of the Acropolis, you'll find an 8 m high wall that once guided seafarers.

Ancient Theater of Taormina
The Ancient Theater of Taormina is an ancient Greco-Roman amphitheater in Taormina, Sicily. Built by the ancient Greeks in around the third century BC, the site was renovated by the Romans around 500 years later.
Carved into the Sicilian hills, the theater is still in use today. The likes of Bob Dylan, Elton John and Sting have all graced its stage, which boasts stellar views of the ocean and surrounding countryside. Not your average music venue!
