The 6 Best Monuments & Statues in Agrigento, Sicily
Though Agrigento is a modern city of about 60,000 on Sicily’s southwest coast, the majority of visitors come to experience the past just outside of town. At the Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi), citizens of the then-major Greek colony of Akragras began building seven Doric style holy monuments in the sixth century BC. The nearby Archaeological Museum helps put everything into context. Agrigento also has some fascinating sights in its old town, like the medieval Norman cathedral.

At the top of the hill in the town is a magnificent Duomo that is worth every step you take to get to it. It's actually about five sacred sites/time periods rolled into one which the architecture clearly shows. I liked it because it wasn't too big - you could get your head around this one - for me anyway. And after you've seen the inside the view outside is outstanding, a must visit if you are in Agrigento.
