Selinunte is an archaeological park of 40 hectares, located in the municipality of Castelvetrano, near Trapani.

We find ourselves at the South West coast of Sicily, preserving still features ancient and wildness.

Here the past history of Sicily, throbbing of wars, rebellions and victories, defeats and new ascents, finds one of its founding fulcrums.

According to Greek sources, in fact, the city was founded by colonists from Megara Hyblea in the VII century BC.

The name comes from the Greek word Selinon, meaning wild parsley, found in abundance by the Greeks in these places to the point of even printed in coinage selinuntina.

Often at war with Segesta border disputes.

The center was short-lived and was finally destroyed by the Romans around 250 BC at the end of the first Punic War.
