When planning for you, we always consider what time is sunset, especially if you are a photography enthusiast. Yes… when I talk with you about your desires for your itineraries, I get into a lot of details about your interests and how you like to travel, and I customize your tour to the hour (If that’s what you want.). So, when you visit Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, the light is just right on the Temple of Hercules for a beautiful photograph. #experiencesicily #sicily #thisissicily #agrigento #templeofhercules #temple #tempio #ancientgreek #ancient #doric #architecture #unesco #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #sicily_tricolors #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Valle Dei Templi Agrigento) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXST9LF-4-/?igshid=1mytpceq1443d

The doric temple at Segesta, built c. 420 BCE by a Sicilian architect who was influenced by his Greek forefathers’ design styles, sits in the Trapani Province countryside. #experiencesicily #sicily #segesta #doric #temple #calatafimi #grecoantico #ancientgreek #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Tempio di Segesta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHHQX-lPgJ/?igshid=173by1r1ikwmv

Unlike many of the other temple ruins that one can visit throughout Sicily at Agrigento, Segesta, and on the acropolis of Selinunte, the sacred area of the Santuario della Malophoros (at Selinunte) was not a single rectangular building with Doric-style columns. It was an enclosed, walled, complex (a temenos) with a regal entranceway (called a propylaeum). The tall, thick perimeter of the Sanctuary enabled devotees to Demeter, Persephone, and Hades to practice their secretive rites in private. Here in this photo, you can see our group from May 2019 exiting the 6th century BCE sanctuary. (More on the rites in a future post.) Last Tuesday’s presentation about the Myths and Mysteries of Sicily: Western Sicily Part 1 was recorded.

A nice story I want to tell you.
These here are Selinunte's temples, I live really close to them so they are part of my history, origins and culture. These are in Sicily, Italy. I always think they don't get the attention they need. If you don't know the origins, the temples were builted up carrying huge blocks from a far place to another and then they were sculpted with an amazing technique so that you could see them in all their beauty. The dimension are huge, you really feel a small little human compared to them. They were dedicated to Gods, and the entrance is always toward east because that's were the sun rises, and that indicates life. The temple you see there, still standing after a massive earthquake is the E Temple dedicated to Hera, Zeus's sister and wife. There everyone bringed gifts and treasures to donate. Today it felt amazing, I feel myself when I am there, these structures define my culture, our "massive simplicity". I love my country, I am so excited to learn about lots of places but this here will always be mine.
