Upbeat Times in Segesta, Italy!


ABOUT SEGESTA, ITALY


Segesta was one of the major cities of the Elymians, one of the


three indigenous peoples


of Sicily. The other major cit- ies of the Elymians were Eryx and Entella. It is located in the northwestern part of Sicily in Italy, near the modern com- mune of Calatafimi-Segesta in the province of Trapani. “Segesta (or Egesta) was an important trading town from the 7th century BCE onwards. Situated on the strategically advantageous slopes of Mt. Barbaro, yet still close enough to the coast to support a trading port, Segesta established itself as the most important regional town of the Elymi people.” Says Mark Cartwritght of Ancient.eu about Segesta.


The Temple; It was built in 500 BC but was never finished do to wars. It has been standing like this since 500 BC, it has not been re-assembled! Great to come back home to the Good News Paper. After no news or TV for 3 weeks it was over- whelming when I turned on the car radio on Monday, had to turn it off. ~ Frank Griffo, Sr. of Petaluma, CA.
