Overview

The guided tour of Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples takes you back in time among the Doric temples of the Hellenic period, one of the largest and most spectacular archaeological areas in the world.

We begin with the Temple of Hera Lacinia, built in 450 BC on the hill of the Rupe Atenea with Doric columns. Dedicated to Juno, it once housed a painting of the goddess of women and fertility. Nearby is the majestic Temple of Concordia, the second best-preserved Doric temple after the Parthenon. Its excellent state is from its conversion into a Christian church. In front, the bronze statue of Icarus by sculptor Igor Mitoraj depicts his fall into the sea.

Next, we visit the Temple of Hercules, named for a bronze statue of the hero inside, and enjoy prickly pear trees and panoramic valley views. The tour concludes at the Temple of Jupiter, once one of the largest classical temples, partially ruined by earthquakes. A reconstructed 7-meter Telamon shows the grandeur of these ancient monuments
