We were here exactly on March 17, when the locals had a holiday, so there were a lot of people everywhere. Thanks to that, we spent some nice moments here and experienced very nice performances. Interesting to see that Greeks also lived in Italian Sicily. I recommend. Otherwise, we had to park our car at the bottom of the hill, they took us up by bus
Historical and very great ancient landscape.
This archeology park was great. Very little shade so might avoid in July. March was great. Spent 2 hours here.
The Greek Temples were constructed in the 5th Century BC on high ground gazing towards the Mediterranean Sea. The sedimentary rock used for construction was quarried nearby. The Temple of Concordia is a masterpiece of Greek history and one of the best preserved in the ancient world. Nearby are many abandoned tombs, graves and a necroplis.. There is also a large excavated town or city on the preservation area and a Greek theater is currently being excavated that might of accommodated 30,000 people. This is certainly a place not to miss during your visit to Sicily.
Ein beeindruckendes und sehr großes Gelände, was mit einem Shuttlebus oder zu Fuß besichtigt werden kann. Infotafeln erklären alles auf italienisch oder englisch. Zu einer kleinen Pause lädt das Restaurant am oberen Ende der Anlage ein. Wir waren Ende Oktober vor Ort und mussten an der Kasse nicht anstehen.
Ticket- 13 euro for adults. Time spent there -about two hours. We walked about 3km viewing the park. There is a bar where you can buy snacks and drinks. Very nice place to visit. Relaxing and amazing.
The Temple of Juno is truly awe-inspiring, serving as the first striking landmark upon entering the expansive park. The park itself is vast, adorned with impressive ancient ruins and magnificent views of the valleys.
