This beautiful temple located at Segesta is a sight to behold in the rolling hills of Sicily. This temple was created by the local inhabitants of Segesta to create an image of wealth in order to solicit the military aid of the Athenian army. The temple, though beautiful, was never completed which can be seen by the rough protrusions sticking out from the stones on the base of the temple. These are necessary to lift the stones into place, but would have been removed in the finishing touches of construction. In addition the columns are not fluted, which again would have been one of the final touches of the temple.
