Agrigento: Temple of Concordia, east end

Agrigento: Temple of Concordia (photo: Athena Review 2004)

This image shows the east end of the Temple of Concordia, where the entrance to the temple and the interior cella is located.
The well-preserved Doric temple, built in 440-430 BC, measures 17 by 39.5 m in area, with the columns six meters high. It is of heptastyle construction (six columns in width), and thirteen columns in length The cella or interior shrine room measures 28.5 by 9.5 meters in area.
The temple was named after the Roman goddess Concordia, based on a Latin inscription found nearby (which, however, is probably unrelated to the temple).
In the sixth century AD, the temple was converted into a Christian basilica dedicated to Sts. Peter and Paul. It has been restored to its ancient form from the late 18th century onward.
