Agrigento, Temples

One of the most important archaeological sites in the world and, since 1998, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valley of the Temples Archeological Park in Agrigento is an incredibly rich collection of ancient remains including magnificent temples, underground aqueducts, and pagan and Christian necropolises. Your Skip the Line ticket will give you access to the whole site which stretches along a long rocky escarpment marking the southern limit of the ancient Greek city of Akragas.

Akragas, thought to have been founded around 580 BC, was one of the largest and most culturally advanced Greek cities on the Mediterranean. Discover the layout of the ancient city, its fortifications and gates, the road systems and various types of dwellings with traces of wall paintings and mosaic floors as well as impressive water systems, cisterns and drainage, and the tabarnae (bars) with their counters and hollows for holding jars and amphorae. Enjoy the scenery and immerse yourself in the flora as you explore ancient history.

The Pietro Griffo Archaeological Museum is one of Sicily's most important museums offering a fascinating look at the development of the area from prehistoric times through to the Greco-Roman period.

Your skip the line entrance ticket gives you access to the entire park and we recommend you give yourself at least two hours to explore the site adequately. The ticket is valid for three days from when you first use it and offers one entry to the Valle dei Templi and one entry to the Museum.
