Valley of the Temples Tour

We will meet at the ticket office of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento at the scheduled time to begin this tour of a World Heritage Site.

The valley includes twelve temples, two agoras, and a bouleuterion, which was the meeting place for the council. This area was the center of ancient Akragas, the first Greek settlement in Agrigento. The tour will focus on the history and architectural features of these inspiring structures.

We will first visit the Temple of Juno and then proceed to the Temple of Concordia, where we will also view the remains of an early Christian necropolis. Additionally, we will see the Temple of Heracles and the remains of the Temple of Zeus, highlighting key mythological divinities associated with these sites.

The tour will conclude about 2 hours after the starting time, bringing us back to the present.
