Agrigento
The Valley of Temples
Portrait
Akragas was one of the richest Greek cities in Sicily, and its ridge carries seven Doric temples from the fifth century BC — the Temple of Concordia survives almost complete because it was converted into a church in the sixth century AD. Pindar called Akragas the most beautiful city of mortals, and the almond blossom festival in February fills the valley.
