Agrigento is a hilltop city on Sicily’s southwest shore. It’s known for the ruins of the ancient city of Akragas in the Valley of the Temples, a vast archaeological site with well-preserved Greek temples
Situated on a plateau not far from the sea, a stone’s throw from the historic centre of Agrigento, the Valley of the Temples is world-famous for its imposing Doric temples, one of the most significant testimonies of Greek culture and art. The Greek temples, symbols of the city of Agrigento for centuries, are universally recognised as the most fascinating and majestic testimony that Magna Graecia bequeathed to Sicily and the whole of Italy.
