Tempio Di Segesta

The temple, sometimes called the "Great Temple", was built during the last thirty years of the fifth century BC, [1] on the top of a hill west of the city, outside its walls. It is a large hexastyle peripteral temple (ie with six columns on the shorter side, not grooved). On the long side it has instead fourteen columns (in total 36 then, 10 meters high). The current state of preservation presents the entire colonnade of the complete peristasis of the entire entablature. Despite the constructive elements and the proportions of the construction clearly referring to the classical period of Greek architecture, the temple presents peculiar aspects on which historiography does not express unanimous opinions.

Museo del Sale

Of Phoenician origin, the Arab geographer al-Idrīsī documents the presence of salt pans already in the period of Norman domination in Sicily. Under the reign of Frederick of Swabia, the state monopoly on salt production was established, which continued even during the Angevin domination. The Aragonese later ratified the return to private property, but it was under the Spanish crown that the salt production activity reached its peak, transforming the port of Trapani into the most important European trade center for the precious element. The salt pans from Trapani reached the islands of the Stagnone.In the photo above the Salt Museum of Nubia, in the photo below the Infersa mill.From 1861 with the Unification of Italy these salt pans were not nationalized, and they were the only ones to overcome the monopoly of the salt by the State, exporting it to different countries. After the First World War with the competition of the industrialized salt pans of Cagliari began the decline of the Trapani salt pans, accentuated by the outbreak of the Second World War and by foreign competition with rock salt. Many of the salt pans were abandoned or abandoned.
