Built between 440 and 430 BC, this structure is the largest and most complete Doric temple in the region. Its exceptional state of preservation makes it one of the most significant examples of ancient Greek architecture globally. The building features a classic colonnade and was originally part of the ancient city of Akragas.

In the 6th century AD, the temple was converted into a Christian basilica. This transformation is credited with ensuring the building's survival through the centuries, protecting it from the destruction or stone scavenging that affected other nearby structures. The current name, adopted in the 16th century, originated from a misinterpreted Roman inscription found in the vicinity.

As a central feature of the Valley of the Temples, the site is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins illustrate the cultural peak of ancient Greek civilization and have undergone various restoration efforts to maintain their structural integrity.
