Walking Tour: Agrigento, Sicilia

Agrigento, where history is unmistakeably in the air.
As well as being one of the oldest Sicilian cities, it’s also remarkable for having risen again from the ashes several times. Its showpiece is undoubtedly the Valley of the Temples which, with its ties to the classical world, displays one of the city’s most fascinating sides, together with extraordinary finds housed in the Museo Archeologico Regionale.
The city, founded in 581 BC by Greek colonists from Rhodes and Crete, became Akràgas in the following century. In the past, it used to be one of the most magnificent centres in the Mediterranean. In 1997, UNESCO therefore placed the Archaeological Area of Agrigento on its list of world heritage sites.
The remains of Agrigentum include the of the villas of the nobility and the orderly streets of the Hellenistic/Roman Quarter.

My ancestors are from Agrigento, so I enjoyed this video. My Paternal side is from Godrano, Palermo. I wish you could show me this ancient town.

kind of boring. You spend too much time on streets with few people especially at the beginning. Try sitting down in busy places with people in cafes etc.

I don’t agree. It was enjoyable and I want to thank Cris Oliver.
