Temple of Concordia, Agrigento

The archeological park is very big, so bring comfortable shoes. We happened to visit an hour before sunset, on a spectacular day, so we had the chance to admire the temples both with the natural light and in the sunset colors. At the end of the visit, the temples were bathed in artificial light, with a black background and was a breathtaking experience. All the monuments and main spots in the park had panels explaining the history, the architecture and drawings of the buildings, to provide the visitors a full perception of the magnitude of the ancient architecture. A guided tour is recommended, to be sure no details or aspects are missed. If you visit the site in a hot weather, bring a hat, sunscreen protection and plenty of water. A bar/cafeteria is located inside the park.

It was a great experience to visit this archaeological site. I really appreciated the history behind the site. Just one to think about if you’re driving there, park in the car park at the bottom of the site and take a group taxi which is €3 euro per person. They will take you the top. This means you can walk from the top to the bottom in 1 hour or so, rather than walking up to walk back down to your car.

Very busy and difficult to get a photograph without somebody else in it. However, it is rare to see such a beautiful ancient temple so well preserved. I thought the entrance price was a bit high by Italian standards and the ticket seller was grumpy because I wouldn’t buy the guidebook, which is a bit pathetic really.

Great place to visit. Well maintained. Take your walking shoes as there is a massive area to cover.

The Temple of Concordia is absolutely breathtaking. Walking among these ancient ruins, you can really feel the history and grandeur of Sicily’s past. Stunning architecture, amazing views, and an incredible sense of timelessness—it’s a must-see for history lovers and anyone who appreciates awe-inspiring sites.

A stunning area of well preserved monuments with good insights into the history of these. We visited at dusk and found the light provided interesting photo opportunities too.

If Greek temples had celebrities, this beauty would be Hollywood royalty. Incredibly well-preserved (thanks to its medieval gig as a church), it’s the poster child of Doric architecture. Majestic, serene, and Instagram-ready. Don’t sleep on it. Built in the 5th century BC, topped with a church conversion in the 6th century AD.

It was so much fun! I recommend going in the evening, it’s beautiful with the sunset and it’s less crowded. You can enter and purchase tickets until 10pm. Very worth it (17€)
