The temple was likely founded to commemorate the Battle of Himera (480-479 BC) and was constructed using Carthaginian slave labor. Although designed to be the largest Doric temple ever built, the structure was never completed. It served as a central monument in the ancient city of Akragas.
The site currently consists of a massive stone platform with numerous tumbled pillars and blocks. Among the most significant archaeological finds are the telamons, which are large stone figures that once supported the temple's structure. The temple was described by ancient historians before it collapsed during an earthquake in 1401. Following the collapse, parts of the ruins were used as a stone quarry.
As part of the archaeological sites of Agrigento, the ruins were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The site is recognized for its exceptional state of preservation and as an outstanding example of Greek art and culture. The area is an archaeological site that can be visited.
