Having thus entered into alliance with Carthage, Segesta was later besieged by Dionysius I of Syracuse, in 397 BC, and obliged to break its alliance with Carthage.
In 306 BC, now an ally of Syracuse against which it had previously rebelled, it was destroyed by Agathocles. In 277 BC it fell to Pyrrhus, King of Epirus.
On the outbreak of the First Punic War, Segesta was the first city to side with the Romans, who therefore declared it a free and immune city.
Notwithstanding, a slow period of decline began for Segesta, culminating in its destruction by the Vandals in the early Midd ages.
At Calatafimi Segesta there is tourist accomodation available in hotels, farm holiday, farmhouse, residence self-catering accommodation, b&b, rooms for rent, holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
