Templo de Esculapio, Greek temple in Valley of Temples, Agrigento, Italy.
The Temple of Asclepius features a Doric structure measuring 21.7 meters by 10.7 meters, elevated on three steps and a wide foundation.
The temple construction dates to the last two decades of the 5th century BC in the ancient city of Akragas, dedicated to the god of medicine.
The sanctuary contained a bronze statue of Apollo created by Myron, which Scipio donated to the city before Verres stole it.

The temple features a false opisthodomos with two semi-columns between antae that simulates an amphiprostyle construction.
