Excursions

Described as "The most beautiful city of mortals" by the Greek poet Pindar in the 5th century BC, Agrigento was one of the most important cities in Greece’s Golden Age. Today, the Valley of the Temples is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with some of the best preserved ancient Greek buildings outside Greece itself. The most outstanding is a Doric temple built in the 5th century BC in honor of the goddess Concordia, which is similar in design to the Parthenon. The archaeological museum of Agrigento has several fascinating finds and the town itself has some attractive medieval piazzas.
