Valley of the Temples (La Valle dei Templi), Agrigento, Sicily, Italy: fluted columns of ruined Ancient Greek temple. Agrigento is the site of the port city of Akragas, founded circa 580 BC by Greek colonists. The Valley of the Temples at Agrigento is an ensemble of Hellenic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Akragas became a wealthy leading city of Magna Graecia or Greater Greece, but its prosperity stalled when Carthage sacked it in 406 BC and although it recovered, it never regained its former status. It later changed hands several times as Rome and Carthage fought the Punic Wars. The victorious Romans renamed it Agrigentum, granting Roman citizenship to its Greek-speaking people, but after Rome fell, it was ruled in turn by Vandals, Ostrogoths, Byzantines, Saracens and Normans.
