Thanks for posting! Several years ago my husband and I stayed in a hotel with a room that directly overlooked this masterpiece. It is flood-lit at night. The Sicilians are right to hold on to their history.

Did you stay at the Hotel Athena, perhaps? I tried to spend the night there 13 years ago but all rooms were booked.

I remember well the hauntingly beautiful and dreamlike view at night of the floodlit temples that dotted the Valley of the Temples below Agrigento.
