agrigento

Today I stumbled through even more impressive Greek ruins... huge temples, altars and ruins that rival the size of the Parthenon or others in Greece or Turkey. One of them was almost completely intact... utterly amazing. It's called La Valle dei Templi (The Valley of the Temples) but it actually rests on top of the hill large hill that looks out to the southern Mediterranean Sea. I stuck around until sunset so I could get some pictures of the temples atmospherically lit up at night.

Tomorrow I'm off Palermo and then back along the northern and eastern coasts of Sicilia before heading back to the mainland.
