April 4, 2018 By Justin Miller

The temple of Concordia at Agrigento is one of the best preserved Doric order Greek temples, it was built in the 5th century BC. Concordia is the Roman goddess of harmony and agreement in society/marriage. The temple currently is in such good condition because as converted into a Christian basilica in the 6th century dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul by San Gregorio delle Rape, the bishop of Agrigento and thus survived any destruction of pagan places of worship.
