About

The Temple of the Dioscuri—also known as the Temple of Castor and Pollux—rests in the easternmost corner of the Valle dei Templi archaeological site in Agrigento, Sicily. This modest Doric peripteral shrine, dating to the mid‑5th century BC, is part of the world‑heritage‑listed complex that showcases the grandeur of ancient Greek architecture in Magna Graecia. Visitors wander from the open‑air ruins through the nearby Temple of Concordia and other iconic temples, gaining insight into the religious, civic and artistic life of ancient Agrigento.
