The best preserved Greek temples in the world are in Agrigento, Sicily

Agrigento has one of Sicily top sights—the amazingly preserved 5th century BC Greek Temples (and assorted other bits) in a large archaeological park called the Valley of the Temples, just below the city on the long slope toward the nearby coast.

However, there's really nothing important to see up in the town of Agrigento itself (the Duomo's alright, but no great shakes).

The first thing you hit while heading down into the Valley of the Temples is a low museum complex on the right side of the road.
