The research conducted in Selinus by the University of Turin and by Centro Ricerche Archeologiche e Scavi di Torino is part of a study project regarding the temple architecture of the Greek city.
Carried out in accordance with the Archaeological Local Authorities of Palermo initially, and subsequently with the Cultural and Environmental Heritage Authorities of Trapani, the research activities were primarily concentrated in the area of the eastern hill, seat of three important sanctuaries, and in particular on temples F and E and on the latter’s temenos.
In addition, a systematic survey was conducted in the vast area of the southeastern quadrant of the Selinus territory. Recently a study was carried out on the monumental complex of temple M on the western hill of the ancient city.
