Historical place and beautiful sight. Prices are fair. We did not go on a guided tour and we found that information about the site was lacking. Busses are provided for 2.5€ pr person to the top of temple and theater.

Beautifull , adult entrance was 11€, you need good boots to walk up the hill, worth the trip .

The entire Segesta park is worth a visit! The café is no longer there because of the most recent fire that affected the entire area. The theatre and the temple are so so beautiful!

Amazing views and historical place. The shuttle bus will take you here from parking - you will need to pay 8.50 for entrance including the bus but I would recommend it just for the views :)

A beautifully preserved ancient theater. When a person imagines that centuries ago various comedies and dramas took place here, tears come to his eyes that what people can achieve when they come together and build something beautiful that will survive for centuries. I definitely recommend visiting this truly beautiful place and seeing it all, you will not be disappointed

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
