Castelvetrano, Greek art by the sea

Selinunte Archaeological Park in Castelvetrano, Trapani
Selinunte Archaeological Park in Castelvetrano, Trapani

This small town located in the province of Trapani is known above all for one reason: in its territory there is the largest park archaeological of Europe, Selinunte.

If you have seen and appreciated the archaeological sites of Athens, you must come here too. I am convinced that at the sight of this ancient Greek city you will be breathless. The exceptional nature of this location is that the ruins area overlooks the sapphire sea.

So, as you walk through the archaeological complex composed of the Acropolis, the Eastern Hill, the plateau of Contrada Manuzza, the Malophoros sanctuary in the Gaggera district and from two Necropolis (Manicalunga and Galera Bagliazzo) you will find yourself with your feet immersed in crystal clear waters.

If you add the sound of the wind and cicadas to us, in the midst of the columns that are more than 2500 years old... words are no longer needed.

In addition to Selinunte, Castelvetrano is also worth visiting. To visit this small town it does not take much time (the center of Castelvetrano revolves around the two squares that house almost all the monuments), but I am convinced that it will leave you good memories.

To complete this intense cultural visit, all you have to do is look again even with the beautiful beaches of the area. In fact, the most beautiful beaches are located right in Marinella di Selinunte, a hamlet of Castelvetrano.

Truly interesting and special is the Foce Nature Reserve of the River Belice. Seeing flamingos proliferating undisturbed in the midst of golden dunes and blue waters is a truly unforgettable sight.
