Greek Temples (Selinunte)

by | Sep 19, 2015 | Sicily, Travel

Selinunte is a Greek archaeological site in Sicily. Visiting it with my friend, Castelvetrano miller and baker Filippo Drago, he proudly pointed out that it is the largest ruins of Greek temples anywhere. Like the ruins I had seen while visiting Troy in Turkey, it really gave me a sense of awe. The place is not so much haunted as animated by the ghosts of history. For my buddy Filippo, it seemed a spiritual place, bringing him back to the ancient grains that landed here with the Greeks which he still uses today.
