One of the largest archaeological parks in Europe, a whole Greek city left in ruins on the Sicilian coast. Selinunte was rich and quarrelsome, forever at war with neighbouring Segesta, until Carthage sacked it in 409 BC and it never recovered. Its temples, known only by letters because we are unsure which gods they honoured, lie collapsed in vast fields of drums and capitals, one re-erected, the rest as the earthquakes left them. The quarry that supplied the stone, Cave di Cusa, still holds half-cut columns abandoned the day the Carthaginians came.
