agrigento

«Such a glorious spring view as we enjoyed at sunset today will most assuredly never meet our eyes again in one lifetime. Modem Girgenti stands on the lofty site of the ancient fortifications, an extent sufficient for the present population. From our window we looked over the broad but gentle declivity, on which stood the ancient town, which is now entirely covered with gardens and vineyards, beneath whose verdure it would be lorg before one thought of looking for the quarters of an ancient city. However, towards the southern end of the green and flowering spot the Temple of Concord rears itself, while on the east are a few remains of the Temple of Juno. Other ruins of some ancient buildings, which lying in a straight line with those already spoken of, are scarcely noticed by the eye from above, while it hurries over them southwards to the shore.»

(Goethe, Italian journey)
