Selinunte

Σελινοῦς

Selinunte was a Greek colony on the coast of south-western Sicily; its acropolis held a large urban sanctuary and housing laid out in blocks 32 metres wide. A second sanctuary on the eastern hill holds the remains of three monumental Doric temples, known as E, F and G, and the sanctuary of Demeter Malophoros lies to the west at Gaggera.
