The Valley of the Temples at Agrigento, ancient Akragas, is one of the world’s most wonderful sites. Several temples, in various stages of ruin–but including the Temple of Concord, the world’s best preserved Greek temple–dot a ridge about a kilometer long. This one is on the highest point, the Temple of Hera. In fact, nobody knows to which god or goddess the temple was dedicated when in was built 2500 years ago. It’s just one of the many wonders of Sicily, my favorite Mediterranean island after Cyprus.
