English text. Summary: This guide take us to the discovery of Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, one of the favourite destinations of cultured tourists, especially from northern Europe, who came to Sicily in great numbers to discover the traces of classical civilisations. They were attracted by the monumental majesty of the ruins of the ancient city, which are exceptionally well conserved as the area was abandoned when the city moved up to the Hill of Girgenti in medieval and modern times, along with the extraordinary beauty of the natural scenery where the remains of the ancient buildings are located, merging with the environment.In 1997, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento was declared a UNESCO “World Heritage Site”.
