Valley of the Temples
Agrigento, Italy
The Valley of the Temples reveals the scale and ambition of ancient Akragas through monuments spread across an open landscape. The Doric temples of Concordia and Juno provide striking focal points, but the wider remains reward more than a quick photograph. Walk slowly enough to connect the buildings with their setting and the history of the Greek city. Make this a substantial stop in an Agrigento stay, with water, suitable shoes and an itinerary that allows for the exposed conditions.
