"Perched in the middle of the green hills, 2000-year old Segesta Temple dominates the surrounding countryside. Extremely well preserved, it’s definitely worth a look if you are in the area.
Another vestige you can see on the same archaeological site is the theatre, which is perched at 400 meters above the temple and can be reached either with a mile long, uphill hike, or via shuttle. It’s still used in summer to host concerts and theatrical performances (Dionisiache Teatro di Segesta Festival), check their website to learn about the program and to book tickets.
I recommend wearing close-toed shoes as the terrain can be quite uneven. "

"Despite being incomplete, the Doric temple located just outside the ancient city of Segesta is remarkably well-preserved and boasts a stunning view of the valley below. It is widely considered one of the best-preserved Greek temples in existence, likely due to its isolated hilltop location, which has prevented it from being used as a source of building materials, and it has never been desecrated due to its unfinished state.
Accessing the temple requires scaling a steep slope, and it can be seen from a great distance. "
