The city
Agrigento, on the southern coast of Sicília, occupies the site of ancient Akragas, one of the wealthiest cities of the Greek world. Below the modern centre lies the Valle dei Templi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Tempio della Concordia and the ruins of the Tempio di Zeus. The visit is completed by the Museo Archeologico Pietro Griffo, the Giardino della Kolymbethra and, on the neighbouring coast, the white cliff of the Scala dei Turchi.
