with its dazzling sun reflected by its emerald sea and shores of
white sands.
Where
the sea ends, 25 centuries of history open before your eyes.
 Erice
Small medieval town founded by Elimi. For the Romans it was the
place of worship of love, with the castle of Venus where a legend
says that Enea stopped during his journey to pay homage to the
goddess.
S egesta
The setting of the richest
centuries of history that the traditions of the island remember.
Some significant traces of that past are still kept today: a doric
temple and theatre. The theatre of Segesta, in particular, is the
place par excellence for ancient Greek an Latin dramatic
performances.
 Selinunte
The ancient antagonist of
Segesta, with it's monumental ruins, the great temples which
dominate from the hill, its system of roads, its houses crowding
the acropolis cut by the two valleys, is one of the most beautiful
and representative archeological sites of the classical
civilization (VII-IV centuries b.c.) is one of the widest parks in
the word.
 PALERMO
Sicily's
chief town, is the city of art by antonomasia. A melting-pot for
the civilizations which followed one another within its walls:
Phoenicians, Punics, Romans, Arabians, who made of Palermo one of
the largest and prosperous cities of the time. After the Norman
conquest, which took place in 1072, Palermo became the residence
of the emperor Frederick II of Swabia, one of the greatest of all
time, and developed in a literary, philosophical and scientific
centre. Protagonist of a cultural revival, Palermo today is fully
engaged in the process of emerging to the attention of the
international reality. Today, anybody who visits Palermo will read
in the air and in the stones the love of the people for beauty.
