Introduction

The Valle dei Templi is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. It is located on a ridge and houses many Greek-style temple buildings. These temples were first built in the 5th century BC and have existed for over two thousand years, making them one of the most famous ancient Greek architectural groups outside of Italy. The temples stand on lush mountains and overlook the blue sea, with a boundless sky in the distance. The Temple of Concord is the only temple that has remained relatively intact at the site, while the massive Temple of Zeus has become ruins, but it still inspires awe as to its former glory. The ticket office is located next to the Temple of Juno.
