Founded in 581 BC near colonists from neighbouring Gela who named it Akragas, it rapidly grew in economic, civil and military importance, so much so that in league with Syracuse it vanquished the Carthaginian army at Imera in 480 BC and scaled down its expansionist ambitions. From this era the most imposing and important architectural remains, which put the town on the same artistic level as the most important Greek cities.The town is divided into two areas; the up to date urban center and the 'Valley of the Temples ‚ , the historic sacred territory which today has become a focus of historical and architectural interest. Without doubt the most magnificent surviving trace of historic Akragas is the temple of Concordia. Built towards the middle of the 5th century and dedicated to the Dioscuri, the construction stands out imposingly in an outstanding state of preservation; "in comparison with the temples of Paestum, it stands like the figure of God before that of a giant" noted Goethe during his journey of 1787. The temple of the Dioscuri and that of Juno date from the same period. The up to date part of Agrigento too preserves glories and remains of the past in a curious mixture of Arabic, Roman and Baroque architecture; the little church of San Calogero; the Cathedral and the Abbey of the Holy Spirit.
