Heraclea Minoa

Heraclea Minoa was an ancient Greek city of Magna Graecia situated on the southern coast of Sicily near the mouth of the river Halycus, 25 km west of Agrigentum. It is located near the modern town of the same name in the comune Cattolica Eraclea in Italy.

Excavations have revealed several parts of the city which are now open to the public.

Archaeology has shown that the city was founded in the middle of the 6th century BC as an outpost of the Greek colony of Selinus and was finally abandoned around the beginning of the 1st century AD.
