Gorgonita
Segesta strategic position
The ancient city of Segesta was built on the top of Mount Barbaro, and shaped like a saddle. It had two acropolis, one on each side, and was defended by natural steep rock walls to the east and south. In the least protected area they built a walled fortress with monumental gates during the classical period. This was later replaced by a second line of defense with higher walls.
