Agrigento

Tucked into the hills above Sicily’s southern coast, Agrigento is a city whose character is shaped by the limestone ridge that carries its ancient monuments. The Mediterranean Sea lies beyond the urban slopes, while the celebrated Valley of the Temples preserves the remains of ancient Akragas, a Greek city founded in the 6th century BCE. Its Temple of Concordia, one of the best-preserved Greek temples anywhere, remains the defining landmark of the archaeological park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Modern Agrigento spreads uphill from this classical landscape, with Sicilian daily life, markets and local cooking forming a vivid contrast to the ruins below.
