Selinunte is founded in the 7th Century BCE and captured by the Carthaginians after a siege in 409 BCE. It is rare to have so much of an ancient city still in place.Above is a partially reconstructed temple on the acropolis (a high worship center) opposite the city center across a valley.
Next to the reconstructed temple are two other temples still in ruins. They are a wondrous tangle of columns and blocks.
