Top Sicily Walking Tours - page 23

Begin at the Temple of Juno, where a sacrificial altar, chariot-worn stone and fire-scarred walls recall the Carthaginian siege of 406 BCE, and from the hilltop take in sweeping views across the myth-steeped Valley of the Temples before pausing at a nearby café. Follow the City Walls Promenade—lined with wildflowers, artifacts and transport models—for panoramic perspectives on the valley’s infrastructure, then admire the nearly intact 5th-century Temple of Concordia with its embedded 6th-century church. Descend into the Paleochristian Necropolis, where you will come across some 130 tombs—open-air graves, arcosols, sarcophagi and early catacombs—then stroll the tranquil gardens of Aurea Villa, visit the nine pillars of the Temple of Hercules, and conclude at the monumental remains of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, a final testament to Akragas’s ancient wealth and ambition.
