Dating back to the time after the devastating earthquake in the 1600s this basilica has undergone several rescontstructive facelifts. Most recently in the 1990s when another earthquake struck. The basilica was only recently opened to the public in 2007. Frescos, columns and a beautiful dome and staircase that leads you to the giant doors of the basilica is only the icing on the cake. A beautiful place to worship and pray.

The park is one of the most outstanding examples of ancient Greek architecture. The site is located on a ridge outside the town of Agrigento, not really a Valley! This is also the largest archaeological park in Europe and the Mediterranean basin and a UNESCO World Heritage site. There are remains of 7 temples ( Doric Style) dating back to 510-480 BC Other: Big tourist site, expect crowds. A lot of walking on uneven terrain, no seating, not a lot of shade.

Jokes aside, this place was quite impressive, in size and engineering, especially as these temples and structures have withstood 2400 years for us to marvel at today! Overall, it was roughly 3.5 miles round trip to walk the entirety of the temples. Completely worth it, in my opinion! There is free parking nearby and tickets to get in are 15 euro per person. Highly recommend visiting if you find yourself visiting Sicily for any amount of time!
