Tips from the Community
The Church of the Holy Trinity was the church of the Stabile Orphanage, also known as the "new abbey," and was founded together with the charitable institution in 1848 by Don Pietro Stabile. The orphanage, unused after the 1968 earthquake, has a trapezoidal block plan and an internal cloister around which two areas are organized: sleeping and living areas and a worship area with the church and sacristy.

Information about the archaeological site of Segesta.

The Doric Temple of Segesta is impressively embedded in the hills of Sicily and invites not only history lovers to take a walk into the past. The unfinished construction gives the temple a rough look, but that is precisely what makes it so attractive - the columns still have the original protective layer that would normally have been removed after completion. The hiking trail up rewards you with a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape and the Gulf of Castellammare. What I particularly liked: From the temple, a beautiful path leads further up to the theater, which is located on the top of the hill. If you choose to walk instead of taking the shuttle, you will be rewarded with many smaller discoveries and fantastic views. The entire complex exudes a special calm - it is a place that invites you to linger and makes history tangible. The magic of the ancient site can be enjoyed wonderfully here, especially in the off-season, when there is less going on.

Adjacent to the municipal building is the Garibaldi House Museum, formerly Pampalone, an authentic treasure chest of homeland and Risorgimento history rich in documents and relics of the famous Battle of Calatafimi on 15 May 1860. Inside it is possible to visit the rooms where Garibaldi, the Hero of the Two Worlds, found shelter and refreshment in those troubled days in which the fate of the nascent Italy was decided thanks to the commitment of a thousand and more picciotti, and to which numerous patriotic citizens of Calatafimi certainly did not lack their courage and support in the undertaking. From the balcony of this building which was the home of Antonino Pampalone, parish priest and fervent liberal, Giuseppe Garibaldi spoke to the crowd gathered on 16 May 1860 after the clash with the Bourbon army.

The church of San Giuliano Martire overlooks Piazza Francesco Cangemi. It is a "very ancient" church. It was erected as a parish in 1619, following a dismemberment of the Mother Church district. It was the seat of the Congregation of the Holy Souls of Purgatory founded in 1572 and of the company of Our Lady of the Rosary, founded in 1667. It was enlarged in 1676. Rebuilt in the early 19th century, it suffered serious damage from the earthquake of 1968. Restored, it was reopened for worship in 1979.
