Valle dei Templi, Archaeological park in Agrigento, Italy.
The Valley of the Temples extends across 1,300 hectares, featuring eight ancient Greek temples built between 510 and 430 BC along a limestone ridge.
Greek settlers established the city of Akragas in 580 BC, constructing temples until Carthaginian forces conquered and damaged the site in 406 BC.
The Temple of Concordia stands as one of the most complete Doric temples from ancient Greece, later transformed into a Christian basilica in 597.
Visitors can access the archaeological site daily from 8:30 AM, with adult tickets priced at 12 euros and reduced rates for European citizens under 25.
The Temple of Zeus measured 112 meters in length and incorporated massive stone figures called telamons, supporting structures that reached 7.5 meters in height.
