Pictures of Greek Temples of Agrigento archaeological site, Sicily. Some of the best preserved Greek Doric temples can be found on Sicily and Agrigento has one of the best preserved Dorik temples outside Greece

Agrigento is an ancient Greek city on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy, and capital of the province of Agrigento. The archaeological site has one of the best preserved Doric and the now ruined Temple of Zeus is believed to be the biggest Doric Temple ever built. The Temple of Concordia is remarkably intact, due to its having been converted into a Christian church in 597 AD. Both were constructed to a peripteral hexastyle design. The area around the Temple of Concordia was later re-used by early Christians as a catacomb, with tombs hewn out of the rocky cliffs and outcrops..
