One of the most spectacular examples of ancient Greek civilization in the Western world, the Valley of Temples in Agrigento is, for good reason, one of the most visited attractions in Sicily. 

It is an archaeological park that contains several Doric temples, some of them preserved in excellent condition. These temples date back to the Hellenic period and were dedicated to different Greek gods. They are located in what was once the ancient Akragas, founded in 580 BC by Greek colonists from the islands of Rhodes and Crete.
