ABOUT AGRIGENTO - Historical info

 

Today, Agrigento is the heir to a city that in ancient times was called ''the most beautiful city of the mortals.'' (Pindaro). Of this once great city remain interesting archaeological ruins and finds. A visit to the beautiful temples is an absolute must, they were the maximum expression of the Greeks ingenous artistic expression.
In the Valley of the Temples are the ruins of numerous temples but also necropoli, houses, streets and everything else one would expect to find in an ancient city. There is a small amphitheatre, as well as several auditoria, and a fine archeological museum. Unfortunately, most of the temples at Agrigento are in ruins, with pieces strewn about, and sev
eral appear to have never even been completed. Part of the Temple of Juno, built around 450 BC, is still intact. Its style has been compared to that of the temples at Paestum, near Salerno.Agrigento The Temple of Concord (named retroactively), built around 440 BC, is in far better condition, and at night the illuminated temple is a sight to behold. A number of telamons (large segmented stone columns in the form of human figures) have been preserved.

The ruins of a Roman villa are located at an archeological site a few kilometers up the coast from Porto Empedocle. There is a nice beach nearby the shipping town of Porto Empedocle.
