The Valley of the temples is possibly the most important vestige of ancient classical culture in Sicily. It is comprised of temples to the gods, as well as a necropolis and other sanctuaries. The Temple of the Dioscuri (Castor & Pollux) with only four columns is the symbol of Agrigento. The Temple of Zeus was built to give thanks for the City's victory of the Carthaginians. Concordia is the best-preserved sacred building. A Statue of Icarus donated by Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj lies outside. Hercules Temple, the oldest, was destroyed in an earthquake and only 8 or 38 columns remain. The Temple of Juno houses the goddess of fertility. There are many more temples, too numerous to mention, located in this valley. This UNESCO Heritage site is a "MUST VISIT."

Incredibly impressive. The history and stories behind the temple remains is incredible. We hired a tour guide who provided incredible stories, answered questions, and showed us many depictions of the technique and tools used to build these structures. She showed us aqueducts and quarries across town that were visible from the national park. The guide was so well worth it. Temple Concordia was breathtaking!

3 Greek temples with the Concordia Temple being the 2nd best preserved Greek temple in the world. See my other review for the hotel to stay at if your budget allows. Fantasic hotel and restaurant with a direct view of the Concordia Temple

Our hotel arranged an English speaking guide for this visit, Sergio really knew his stuff and was very informative and enthusiastic. Worth having a guide. Lots to look at, in March quite quiet too. We added the gardens as well, also very peaceful.

A large area, but easy to walk around, there are numerous ruins in various degrees of preservation, with the Temple of Concordia, the most well preserved and most impressive. Some of the ruins have clearly been renovated in parts, to show what they had been like, but that does not distract from the exhibits.
Definitely worth a visit for history buffs, but you really need a guide to explain it all to you, to make sense.
Can be busy, but over the large area, visitors will spread out.
