Agrigento — Centro Storico
Sicily
While most visitors focus on the ancient Greek temples in the valley below, Agrigento's own hilltop old town carries later medieval and Arab-Norman layers of history, its steep streets giving views down over the very temples that made the site famous. It's a quieter counterpart to the busier archaeological park.
