Agrigento
Panoramic view of the Temple of Concord, 5th century BC, a tree, and surrounding landscape, Agrigento, Sicily, Italy, pictured on September 12, 2009, in the early morning light. Well preserved owing to its 6th century AD conversion to a church, the Temple of Concord is a typical example of optical correction whose tapering columns create the illusion of a perfectly aligned building. Its frieze consists of alternating triglyphs and metopes, and the pediment is undecorated. The Valley of the Temples is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
