Agrigento's Essential Treasures

Agrigento was the Greek city of Akragas, and its temples still stand on a ridge between the modern town and the sea. This list brings together the UNESCO-listed Valley of the Temples, the archaeological museum that holds its finds, and the most rewarding churches of the old town on the hill above.
