Via Segesta connects the SS 188a with the center of Calatafimi. The stretch is about 1.2 km long but quite challenging with gradients between 3 and 10%. It's strange, but while riding it, it felt like it would never end.

The largest work of art in Europe and the memory of an earthquake that indelibly changed the history of the province. An almost mystical and extraordinarily evocative place.

The Belice Gate, or Belice Gate, is a stainless steel installation by Pietro Consagra erected on the road leading to the town of Gibellina Nuova. The work recalls the town lights that were once displayed for the holidays, but over time it has also become a symbol of the Belice Valley. It was erected following the artistic reconstruction of Gibellina, as desired by Mayor Ludovico Corrao. The work is 26 meters tall.
