Its main attraction is the 5th century B.C. Doric temple, one of the best preserved Doric temples in the world, despite the fact that it was never completed, probably due to the endless war between Segesta and Selinunte.
The temple, dedicated to Aphrodite Urania, stands majestically as if guarding this splendid archaeological site and has 36 imposing columns framing a breathtaking panorama.
Another attraction of Segesta is the Greek theatre, which is located on a hill and still has about 4,000 seats.
