Valle dei Templi

The Valle dei Templi is an archaeological park on a ridge near Agrigento, Sicily, containing a sequence of ancient Greek Doric temples, tombs and sanctuaries from the 6th–5th centuries BC. The site preserves the remains of major temples (including the Temple of Concordia, Hera, Heracles, Olympian Zeus, the Dioscuri and Hephaestus) and funerary monuments within a large landscaped area now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As it stood in 430 BC

What Valle dei Templi looked like in its prime.

A sweep of sun‑baked Doric temples in honey‑coloured tufa sit along a grassy limestone ridge above a green plain, their colonnades casting deep shadows on stepped crepidomas. Peripteral temple blocks, triglyph-and-metope architraves and pediments rise above scattered fallen stones and scrub. The largest sanctuaries and a pyramidal tuff tomb punctuate the ridge; the modern town of Agrigento forms a low skyline behind the ridge. Paths and low retaining terraces run between the monuments.
