Show sight on map

The Kolymbethra garden is an archaeological site of great naturalistic and landscape importance, located in a small valley in the heart of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. In 1999 the Sicilian Region entrusted it in free concession to the Italian Environment Fund (FAI) for a period of 25 years, putting an end to the situation of abandonment in which it had fallen in the last decades of the twentieth century; following this it has become one of the places of archaeological/naturalistic interest of great importance at a territorial and national level. The vegetation and structural restoration organized by the FAI allows a visit to the Temple of Hephaestus, as well as the discovery of some hypogea.
