In the Valley of the Temples the fascination of ancient history blends with the beauty of nature. 
The sea on one side, the old city-hill on the other, the majestic Doric style temples rising in the center of it all, and the tones of the tufo with which they are constructed create a picture-perfect setting. 

The Temple of Concordia is the most well-preserved of the temples, having been transformed into a church. The Temple of Juno still boasts 25 of its original 34 columns to support its structure. Then there is the Temple of the Dioscuri, considered the most symbolic temple, and the Temple of Hercules, the oldest of them all. Together with the Temple of Olympean Zeus, these five giants dominate the Valley that has been declared a World Heritage Site. 
Leaving the Valley and heading towards the city, one comes across the remains of the Hellenistic-Roman Quarter, with its houses decorated in beautiful mosaics. The ancient shops, wells, cisterns and the sewer system give a complete picture of the ancient city. 

Evidence abounds of the Greek era, especially including the fascinating objects of the Regional Archeological Museum originating from the ancient area of Akragas. 
Through the Gate of Ponte, one can enter into the ancient quarter of Agrigento which still conveys the image of a medieval village, with its narrow roads and steep winding alleys that all converge towards the main road. Stroll through the ancient city and wander to the Cathedral, where a grand stairway leads to the churchyard and bell tower, the construction of which has never been completed. 

The archeological itinerary continues at Eraclea Minoa, today the ruins of an ancient Greek city located on a gentle slope that seems to fall down into the blue sea. The long white beach stretches out from Capo Bianco and arrives at the edges of a magnificent pinewood.

Certainly not to be missed, both for its beautiful landscape and for its historical features, is the Roman Villa of Durrueli in the commune of Realmonte, where parts of the mosaic flooring are still visible. 

Gela’s Regional Archeological Museum exhibits a vast collection of ceramics, bronze and numismatic finds from Prehistoric to Middle Ages. 
In the Acropolis the remains of two temples dedicated to Athena can still be seen. The remains of Greek fortifications, very well conserved, were found in the Cape Soprano excavations. 

Nestled on a high plain the town of Sciacca is divided into quarters situated on three sloping terraces. The most ancient quarter with its alleys and courtyards can be found in the higher part of the city, from there one enters into the more elegant part of the city surrounding the city’s wharf. 

Next to the city, on Mount Kronio, one finds the thermal baths and can enjoy a panoramic view over the sea. 
Do not forget the “Enchanted Castle”, an original exhibition of faces sculpted into rocks and into the bark of trees by Filippo Bentivegna. 

In the hinterland one finds Naro. Here, the architecture is 18th-century and so are the many renovations of buildings and churches. Higher up one finds the medieval Castle, the Old Cathedral and Piazza Garibaldi, all surrounded by refined 19th-century buildings. In the lower city, one can admire the architecture of the Church of San Salvatore, the Chiesa Madre and Palazzo Destro of Via Dante. 

Innumerable art and gastronomic treasures can be found in the interior of Agrigento Province. Such can also be an opportunity to penetrate the colors and perfumes with which nature has endowed this part of Sicily, as well as foods that are still prepared according to ancient tradition.

 And not far from the coast lies a true paradise: the Pelagian Islands: Lampedusa, Lampione and Linosa, all pearls in the middle of a by-turns turquoise, blue and green emerald sea.
