"UNESCO World Heritage The Valley of the Temples is somewhat erroneously named, since the temples actually stand on a rocky ridge south of the acropolis of Agrigento. Constructed mostly in the fifth century B.c.t., the Doric order temples were burned by the invading Carthaginians in 406 B.C.E. and restored by the Romans in the first century B.C.E. All the temples face east in order that the cult statue housed inside the cella (inner chamber) might be illuminated by the rising sun. Architecturally, they are of similar design with six columns at the front, save that of Olympian Zeus, which has seven half columns engaged in a wall. East to west along the scarp, the temples were dedicated to Hera Lacinia, Concord, Heracles, Olympian Zeus, Castor and Pollux, and Hephaistos. The best preserved- including the complete entablature (the frieze above the columns) -is that of Concord, which was converted into a church in the sixth century c.. The earliest is the Sanctuary of the Chthonic Deities, Persephone and her mother, Demeter, constructed in the seventh or sixth century B.C.E. and comprising a number of small shrines and altars. The largest temple is that of Zeus, constructed in the late sixth century B.C.E. In addition to the unusual half-column construction, the walls of this temple featured giant blocks of stone in the shape of men, supporting the weight from above with raised, bent arms. The two pediments were filled with sculpture, depicting the battle between the gods and giants in the east, and the fall of Troy in the west. In the absence of local marble, the temples were constructed of local limestone tufa, often in small blocks rather than the large slabs used in marble constructions. This rather rough-looking stone would originally have been covered with a layer of brightly painted stucco."

"Temple archéologique / 15e l’entrée +25 ans avec la visite des jardins fruitiers. À ne pas louper lorsqu’on passe dans le sud de la Sicile, ça vaut vraiment le coup !"
