Valley of the Temples, Agrigento & Ancient Greek Sicily

The Valley of the Temples ('Valle dei Templi' — the UNESCO World Heritage Site archaeological park near Agrigento on the southern coast of Sicily, 2.5 hours south of Palermo) is the most important Greek archaeological site outside Greece — the site of the ancient Greek city of Akragas (founded 580 BC, one of the largest Greek cities of antiquity with a population of 200,000-300,000 at its peak), the site where 9 Doric temples of the 5th century BC survive in the most complete state of any Greek temples in the world.
