Founded with the name of Akragas by the inhabitants of Gela in the 6th century BC., Agrigento quickly became an important centre in Magna Grecia, as can be seen from the massive remains still visible near the town.

E, come sempre nell'isola, anche i monumenti storici sono elemento quasi naturale: qui si va dall'assoluto incanto della “Valle dei Templi”, all'assolato barocco di Naro e Palma Montechiaro, fino alle fantasie arabe di centri storici come Sambuca.
La fama e l'importanza della “Valle dei Templi” spesso e ingiustamente oscurano il valore di altre contrade e di altri scenari, a tutto danno del turista che viene così a perdere l'opportunità di scoprire ... Read More...
