The Province of Agrigento. The town lies 230 m. above sea level on a hill running parallel to the Ionian coast, some 3 km. away, in a position dominating the Valle dei Templi. The old nucleus still has a stepped medieval structure with steep narrow winding streets.
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.

Questo splendore è testimoniato anche dai reperti esposti nel prestigioso Museo archeologico regionale S. Nicola. Dell'Agrigento medievale rimane oggi un centro storico che, benchè adulterato dall'edilizia del dopoguerra, serba ancora dei monumenti di tutto rispetto come la Cattedrale, di fondazione normanna e dedicata a San Gerlando, e il Monastero chiaramontano di S. spirito, la cui chiesetta è arricchita all'interno da squisiti stucchi del Serpotta. Sul versante mondano-balneare ecco il borgo di San Leone, ... Read More...
