AGRIGENTO |
| |
|
|
| |
| Though handsome, well sited and awash with medieval atmosphere,
AGRIGENTO is not visited for the town itself. The interest instead
focuses on the substantial remains of Pindar's "most beautiful city of
mortals", a couple of kilometres below. Here, strung out along a ridge
facing the sea, is a series of Doric temples - the most captivating of
Sicilian Greek remains and a grouping unique outside Greece. |
