Highlights
- Bypass ticket lines and gain immediate access to Agrigento’s UNESCO-recognized ridge where Greek settlers erected their grandest monuments over 2,500 years ago.
- The Temple of Concordia remains remarkably intact; in the 6th century, Christians transformed it into a church. Observe closely for arched openings they carved into its ancient walls.
- Located at the eastern edge of the ridge is the Temple of Juno with honey-coloured columns scorched red on one side due to a Carthaginian attack in 406 BC—a mark eternally preserved by the stone.
- Conclude your visit inside the Treasures of Italy exhibition, where jewellery, coins, and sculptures unearthed from this valley offer glimpses into the temples' vibrant pasts.
- Opt for an additional tour to Kolymbethra Gardens, a verdant ancient garden within the valley, or select a multilingual audio guide available in 8 languages for enhanced historical insights.

Valley of the Temples
This site is one of the best-preserved ancient Greek temple complexes globally, extending over a limestone ridge above Agrigento with ruins dating back to the 5th century BC.
- The Temple of Concordia: Remarkably preserved and converted into a church in the 6th century. Your audio guide highlights arched openings carved during this conversion that remain visible today.
- The Temple of Juno: Located at the ridge's eastern edge, its columns are scorched red on one side due to a Carthaginian attack in 406 BC. The audio guide narrates the siege behind these marks.
- Treasures of Italy Exhibition: An exhibition showcasing jewellery, coins, and sculptures excavated from the valley, illustrating what life was like during its active years.
Options: For a more tranquil experience, consider adding Kolymbethra Gardens to your visit. This ancient garden features almond and citrus trees located in a natural hollow within the park.
