Contenuto
Panoramic views, aerial photos, maps, and reconstructions offer an immersive journey through the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento-an extraordinary blend of history, art, and nature, making it one of the Mediterranean's most remarkable archaeological sites. Founded in the late 6th century BC as Akragas, a seaside city enclosed by massive walls, it flourished a century later as a major center of Magna Graecia. Its grand Doric temples, especially those of Concordia and Juno, reflect the city's former power. The Regional Archaeological Museum brings the city's past to life through timeless artifacts, while the Kolymbethra Garden invites visitors to stroll among citrus trees and Sicilian scents. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, the Valley is celebrated for its outstanding preservation and universal cultural value.
