Temple of Concordia

The Temple of Concordia is one of the best-preserved ancient Greek temples in the world. It stands in the Valley of the Temples near Agrigento, on the island of Sicily, Italy. Built around the 5th century BCE, it was dedicated to an unknown deity, although later it was named after โ€œConcordia,โ€ the Roman goddess of harmony. The temple has 6 columns on the front and 13 on each side, following the Doric style typical of ancient Greek architecture. Its solid structure and location on a hill make it a striking sight against the Sicilian sky. In the 6th century CE, it was converted into a Christian church, which helped preserve it over the centuries. Today, it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts visitors from all over the world who come to admire its beauty and feel the atmosphere of ancient Greece in Sicily.
