[Agrigento, Italy] Agrigento Regional Archaeological Museum

#FreeHotelStay The Agrigento Regional Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Regionale Agrigento) is located halfway from Agrigento city to the Valley of the Temples. The museum exhibits pottery and archaeological items excavated in the surrounding area, mainly from the Valley of the Temples, and the highlight is the Telamone, a figural column from the Temple of Giove Olimpico in the Valley of the Temples, located in the central exhibition room. The huge figural column is said to be 7.75 meters high. It is romantic to wonder how it was possible to create such a shape in the BC era and how it was made by human hands. It is definitely worth stopping by, whether you have seen the actual ruins or not. It is a place that makes you realize once again that humans can create amazing things.
