Agrigento and The Valley
of the Temples
The Valley of the Temples represents the most sublime witness
of the Greek civilization in Sicily. Between the two fields
covered with blossoming almond trees, our gaze rests on the
marvellous remains of the temples, which have kept over time
their intact grandeur.
The Valley of the Temples includes
several temples built in the 5th century B.C.; along the Sacred
Way, we can find: the Temple of Hercules, the Temple of Concord
and the Temple of Juno; on the opposite side, there are the
Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of Olympic Jupiter
and the wonderful garden of the Kolymbetra. We will visit
the Necropolis and the Archaeological Museum, too.
