Founded in 581 BC by colonists from neighbouring Gela who named it Akragas, it rapidly grew in economic, civil and military importance, so much so that in league with Syracuse it vanquished the Carthaginian army at Imera in 480 BC and scaled down its expansionist ambitions. From this era the most imposing and important architectural remains, which put the city on the same artistic level as the most important Greek cities.The city is divided into two areas; the modern urban centre and the 'Valley of the TemplesÂ’, the ancient sacred territory which today has become a focus of historical and architectural interest.

noted Goethe during his journey of 1787. The temple of the Dioscuri and that of Juno date from the same period. The modern part of Agrigento too preserves glories and remains of the past in a curious mixture of Arabic, Roman and Baroque architecture; the little church of San Calogero; the Cathedral and the Abbey of the Holy Spirit.
