Anyone visiting Selinunte/Selinus in Sicily this summer?
#1
Fantastic site, although difficult to reach. I was last summer there.

But now I learnt that the first know spiral staircases in the history of architecture can be found in the Naos of Temple A on the Acropolis. Damn, I must have passed this place by only a few meters with my camera! :x

In case, someone visits this place, could you make a few pics of its remnnnts (must have been once a 16 step flight).

PS: There are also remnants of an ancient bridge across the stream in the west of the Acropolis which I have missed. But beware, macchia there is plenty. :mrgreen: The views though are outstanding. :!:
