Girgenti / Agrigento, Sicily - ITALY - Passeggio Cavor:  Agrigento (Sicilian: Girgenti) is a city on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy and capital of the province of Agrigento. It was one of the leading cities of Magna Graecia during the golden age of Ancient Greece with population estimates in the range of 200,000 to 800,000 before 406 BC.  Agrigento is a major tourist centre due to its extraordinarily rich archaeological legacy. Ancient Akragas covers a huge area—much of which is still unexcavated today—but is exemplified by the famous Valle dei Templi ("Valley of the Temples", a misnomer, as it is a ridge, rather than a valley). This comprises a large sacred area on the south side of the ancient city where seven monumental Greek temples in the Doric style were constructed during the 6th and 5th centuries BC. Now excavated and partially restored, they constitute some of the largest and best-preserved ancient Greek buildings outside of Greece itself. They are listed as a World Heritage Site.  Agrigento also serves as an agricultural centre for the surrounding region.  This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition.  Edit.
