Agrigento, Italy: The Most Beautiful Place in Human Cities

Agrigento was a city where 300,000 people lived in ancient times, with ancient Greek temples concentrated on slopes that rise several kilometers from the sea. The poet Pindar even called it 'the most beautiful place in human cities' due to its development. As you imagine such a city and look at the ruins of the ancient Greek era that exist today, you can't help but marvel at the human power that built such magnificent temples in this place. And you feel a sense of transience that they now remain only as ruins. For visiting the ruins, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes that suit you. Since you will be moving around places with almost no shade, it is reassuring to prepare items such as a parasol, hat, and water.
