Temple of Concorde

Valley of the temples, Agrigento,Sicily.

Of all of the temples in the valley this one is the best preserved Doric style temple. It was constructed around 430 BC, but it is unclear as to which god it was erected for. The temple got its name from a Latin inscription found near the temple. The reason the temple remained intact is due in part to its being converted to a Christian church in the 6th century.
