Selinunte, named after the wild parsley (selinon) that grows by the Modion River, was founded around 650 BC by settlers from Megara Hyblaia. The city's architecture spread across two hills with a fortified Acropolis filled with temples and homes and a large settlement on Manuzza Hill featuring a central marketplace.
