Discover the Timeless Beauty of Agrigento
Agrigento, one of Italy’s most captivating archaeological sites, was once a powerful Greek city in Sicily.
Founded at the dawn of the 6th century B.C. by settlers from Gela and Rhodes, Agrigento—known as Akragas in ancient Greek—reached its zenith between the late 6th and 5th centuries B.C.
The grandeur and influence of Agrigento are immortalized in the monumental temples that continue to awe visitors in the Valley of the Temples.
Embark on an unforgettable Agrigento Tour with a private guide, where history and myth intertwine in a setting of breathtaking beauty.

1.Temple of Juno
Your Agrigento Tour begins with one of the most iconic landmarks: the Temple of Juno.
Constructed in the mid-5th century B.C., just a few years before Athens’ Parthenon, this temple is a stunning example of classical architecture.
Perched on a high ridge, it commands a view over the archaeological area, making it a perfect start to your journey through ancient history.
As you descend the hill, you’ll encounter early Christian tombs carved into the natural bedrock, offering a glimpse into the area’s layered history.
2.Temple of Concordia
The next highlight of your Agrigento Tour is the Temple of Concordia, one of the world’s best-preserved Greek temples.
Built shortly after the Temple of Juno in the latter half of the 5th century B.C., it stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the ancient Greeks.
Not only are the columns remarkably intact, but the temple’s pediments and upper structure have also survived the passage of time.
Your expert guide will delve into the intricacies of Greek architecture, explaining its enduring influence and the remarkable skills of the architects and artists who worked nearly 2,500 years ago.
3. Temple of Hercules and Temple of Zeus
Continuing your exploration, you’ll arrive at the Temple of Hercules, one of the oldest structures in the Valley of the Temples, dating back to the late 6th century B.C.
Despite its weathered condition, this temple remains a powerful symbol of ancient craftsmanship.
Your Agrigento Tour then leads you to the colossal Temple of Zeus, the largest site in the area.
Dedicated to the father of the gods, this immense structure once spanned over 100 meters (300 feet).
Although the temple is mostly in ruins today, the grandeur of its massive columns, capitals, and the gigantic telamons that adorned its sides still captivates the imagination.
