Upon arrival, your first stop will be the world-renowned Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most significant examples of Ancient Agrigento’s grandeur. This archaeological park is home to a series of majestic Greek temples, built in the 5th century B.C. in the iconic Doric style. These temples, set against the backdrop of Agrigento’s rural landscape, offer a glimpse into the splendor of ancient Greek civilization.

Our experienced drivers will ensure a seamless journey, providing you with all the necessary information about the site and its history. You’ll be dropped off right at the entrance of the park, where you can explore at your own pace or with the assistance of a knowledgeable guide recommended by our team.

Walk among the giants of history

A complete tour of the archaeological zone takes approximately 2 hours, during which you’ll stroll along paths that lead to the awe-inspiring temples. Among the most notable are the Temple of Juno, the Temple of Concordia, and the Temple of Hercules, each celebrated for their exceptional beauty and remarkable preservation. These structures are not only architectural marvels but also symbols of Ancient Agrigento’s rich cultural heritage.

Uncover the past at the archaeological museum

Within the park, you’ll also find the Archaeological Museum, which houses an impressive collection of artifacts unearthed during excavations. These relics tell the story of Ancient Agrigento, from its Greek origins to its Roman influences, offering a deeper understanding of the region’s historical significance.
