My Favorite Place In Sicily

On Sunday we visited the Valley of the Temples.

The following is from Wikipedia:

"The Valle dei Templi (English: Valley of the Temples, Sicilian: Vaddi di li Tempri) is an archaeological site in Agrigento (ancient GreekAkragas), Sicily, southern Italy. It is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy. The area was included in the UNESCO Heritage Site list in 1997. Much of the excavation and restoration of the temples was due to the efforts of archaeologist Domenico Antonio Lo Faso Pietrasanta (1783-1863), who was the Duke of Serradifalco from 1809 through 1812.

The term "valley" is a misnomer, the site being located on a ridge outside the town of Agrigento."

What I found most interesting what the fact that they are currently showing some of the works of the Polish sculpture Igor Mitoraj of figures from Greek mythology.  I loved the combination of the old with the new.
