Agrigento

Agrigento is a city in southwestern Sicily, known for the Valley of the Temples, one of the most significant archaeological sites of ancient Greece outside of modern-day Greece. Founded as a Greek colony in the 6th century BC, it was for centuries one of the most important cities of Magna Graecia. Today, its Doric temples, together with the archaeological area, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List and represent the main reason visitors come to Agrigento.
