Information about Selinunte
Selinunte was the westernmost Greek city-state in Sicily, situated on the border between Phoenician and Greek territories. This unique location led to the city's wealth through trade with the Carthaginians, but at the same time, it was also the cause of its downfall. The prosperity of the city is evident today through the remains of numerous temples, some of which were reconstructed in the 20th century. Selinunte is located in the territory of Castelvetrano, an area known for producing excellent-quality extra-virgin olive oil, particularly the Nocellara del Belice variety (“Castelvetrano” extra-virgin olive oil). Surrounding the site is an endless expanse of olive trees as far as the eye can see.
