Valley of the Temples
Agrigento, Italy

The Temple of Vulcan is located beyond Kolymbetra, on a small rocky plateau degrading from east to west. It was originally a canonical Doric temple, with six columns on the short side and thirteen on the long side, of which only two remain. The temple dates from the last third of the fifth century BC, while inside the cell were discovered the foundations of a pre-existing archaic temple, of which were found some elements of the decoration of the roof, made of polychrome earthenware, displayed at the Archaeological Museum.
