Valley of the Temples Skip-the-Line Guided Tour description
Visit Agrigento and explore one of Sicily’s most iconic historical landmarks: the Valley of the Temples, renowned for its remarkably preserved Doric temples dedicated to Greek gods. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient archaeological park is situated on a plateau near the Strait of Sicily.
Accompanied by your guide, journey through this timeless site, where history and beauty are perfectly preserved. Begin your tour at the Temple of Hera, then follow the Sacred Way, passing the remnants of the surrounding city walls.
Within the Valley, you’ll encounter 12 impressive temples, ancient fortifications, the Lower and Upper Agora, an Olympian, and a Bouleuterion. A source of inspiration for poets, philosophers, and artists alike, this is one of Sicily’s most emblematic and awe-inspiring parks.
Marvel at the Doric temples from the Hellenic period, which once formed the heart of ancient Akragas, the original nucleus of Agrigento. Continue on to the Temple of Concord, explore the early Christian Necropolis, admire the Temple of Heracles, and view the remains of the grand Temple of Zeus..
