Valley of the Temples
The Doric temples of ancient Akragas, among almond and olive trees on a ridge facing the sea: the Temple of Concordia is one of the best preserved in the Greek world. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997; at sunset and during evening openings the light is magical.
