The Doric temple of Segesta in Italy

Built around 430 BC, the Doric Temple of Segesta is a remarkably well-preserved but unfinished ancient temple atop a scenic hill in northwest Sicily. Likely built by the Elymians with Greek influence, it features 36 unfluted columns, no roof, and no inner chamber, adding to its mystery.

Tips:
- Easy walk from the ticket area (about 5 minutes uphill).
- Best visited in spring for wildflowers and soft light.
- Combine with the nearby ancient theatre for a full experience.
- Listen for wind—columns can "sing" in breezy weather.
