The 5th century BCE Temple of Concord is the best preserved structure in the Valley of the Temples in southern Sicily - reputed to contain the best range of Greek Temples outside Greece itself.
We were lucky enough to be doing an evening tour of the magnificent Valley of the Temples when the 2004 Total Lunar Eclipse started - all the more special as we hadn’t even realized there was going to be one!
Most of the structures were damaged when Sicily was attacked in 406 BCE, and Christians destroyed many remaining temples in the 6th century CE. The Temple of Concord was saved from the 6th Century destruction by being converted into a church.
