"Founded as a Greek colony in the 6th century B.C., Agrigento became one
of the leading cities in the Mediterranean world. Its supremacy and
pride are demonstrated by the remains of the magnificent Doric temples
that dominate the ancient town, much of which still lies intact under
today's fields and orchards. Selected excavated areas throw light on the
later Hellenistic and Roman town and the burial practices of its early
Christian inhabitants." -http://whc.unesco.org

Thank you so much Anastasia of Ireland for sharing with me this postcard!
Am sure you had a great trip in Agrigento last October!
Wishing you more happy travels this year! ^-^
