R	Roberto Castellani on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Importantissima dal punto di vista culturale e storico, molto meno da quello estetico. La si visita poiché inclusa nel percorso dei templi. Contribuiscono al fascino del luogo, senza costituire un ulteriore spinta alla sua immagine. Very important from the cultural and historical point of view, much less from the aesthetic one. It is visited because it is included in the path of the temples. They contribute to the charm of the place, without constituting a further boost to its image.
K	Krzysztof Puzik on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Miejsce, które uzmysławia że Dolina Świątyń to nie tylko Wielka Grecja, lecz również kawał historii innych okresów. A stojąc przy niszach grobowych z jednej strony ma się Świątynię Junony, a z drugiej (nieco bliżej) Świątynię Zgody. Pięknie to historia poukładała A place that makes you realize that the Valley of the Temples is not only Greater Greece, but also a piece of history from other periods. And standing at the funerary niches, on one side you have the Temple of Juno, and on the other (slightly closer) the Temple of Concord. History put it together beautifully
I	Ivan Garcia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La necrópolis paleocristiana de Agrigento, fechable entre los siglos III y VI d.C., se extiende por la colina de los templos, aproximadamente entre el templo de Juno y el de Hércules. La amplia zona del cementerio está dividida en varios sectores. En los restos del tramo de muralla entre el templo de Juno y el de la Concordia se pueden ver algunos enterramientos, llamados arcosoli por la presencia de un nicho arqueado. La necrópolis al aire libre, con unas 130 tumbas trapezoidales, excavadas en la roca, se extiende por toda la explanada que rodea el Templo de la Concordia, hasta la zona cercana al pasillo de acceso a la mayor catacumba de Agrigento, la Cueva de Fragapane. Las Catacumbas subterráneas es la Grotta Fragapane es una gran catacumba comunal, compuesta por pasillos (ambulatorios), pequeñas cámaras funerarias (cubículos) y cámaras redondas (grandes cámaras funerarias), creadas a partir de cisternas campaniformes preexistentes de la época griega. Puedes acceder a las grutas con un guía por un precio extra. €10. El recorrido dura aproximadamente 45 minutos. The paleo-Christian necropolis of Agrigento, dated between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD, extends along the hill of the temples, approximately between the temple of Juno and that of Hercules. The wide area of the cemetery is divided into several sectors. In the remains of the stretch of wall between the temple of Juno and that of Concordia, some burials can be seen, called arcosoli due to the presence of an arched niche. The open-air necropolis, with some 130 trapezoidal tombs, excavated in the rock, extends throughout the esplanade that surrounds the Temple of Concordia, up to the area near the access corridor to the largest catacomb in Agrigento, the Fragapane Cave . The underground Catacombs is the Grotta Fragapane is a large communal catacomb, composed of corridors (ambulatories), small burial chambers (cubicles) and round chambers (large burial chambers), created from pre-existing bell-shaped cisterns from the Greek era. You can access the caves with a guide for an extra price. €10. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
