Page "Agrigento" Paragraph 10

The best-preserved of the temples are two very similar buildings traditionally attributed to the goddesses Juno Lacinia and Concordia ( though archaeologists believe this attribution to be incorrect ).

The latter temple is remarkably intact, due to its having been converted into a Christian church in 597 AD.

Both were constructed to a peripteral hexastyle design.

The area around the Temple of Concordia was later re-used by early Christians as a catacomb, with tombs hewn out of the rocky cliffs and outcrops.
