The temple is a highlight, but that doesn't mean it needs five identical highlight entries.

Definitely worth seeing if you're in the area. Ideally, go at off-peak times when there are no tourist buses.

Beautiful view of the temple. Plan a photo stop! 🤩

The Temple of Heracles (or Hercules) is the oldest in the Valley of the Temples and was dedicated to the god Heracles/Hercules, whom the inhabitants of ancient Akragas held in particularly high esteem. It was destroyed by an earthquake; today, only eight of its columns remain.

The Temple of Concordia (Temple of Concord), whose name derives from a Latin inscription found nearby, also dates back to the 5th century BC. Today, it is probably the best-preserved of all Greek temples. It was converted into a Christian basilica in the 6th century.

Early in the morning, there aren't that many people around. A little later, one bus after another arrives and it's completely packed. Apart from the crowds, I really enjoyed it, and everyone has to decide for themselves whether the €17 entrance fee is worth it.

From 1921 to 1932, Villa Aurea was the home of Sir Alexander Hardcastle, a captain in the English army of noble birth. He bought the late nineteenth-century country villa, located along the walls of the ancient Akragas between the Temple of Concordia and that of Hercules, and named it Villa Aurea because of its proximity to the homonymous gate of the ancient fortifications.
