In an enchanted valley with flowering almond trees, there stands the most impressive monumental ensemble of Hellenic architecture in Sicily. In this mixture of man-made cultural environment and natural landscape lies all the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Valle dei Templi – the Valley of the Temples – is undoubtedly the most important vestige of ancient classical culture in Sicily. It comprises the temples of the gods, as well as the necropolis area and the extra-moenia sanctuaries.

In Valley of The Temples, You’ll find the Temple of the Dioscuri, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Temple of Concordia which is located by the main road and is also the best-preserved temple in Valley of the Temples. You’ll also find the Statue of Icarus, the Temple of Heracles, the Temple of Aesculapius, the Tomb of Theron, the Temple of Vulcan, and the Temple of Juno.
