It was built around 425 B.C. - as I learned <a href="http://www.planetware.com/agrigento/valley-of-the-temples-i-si-agpa.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u><b>here</b></u></a>. A friend of mine also told me of the episode in Sicily of the Anthony Bourdain travel series, Parts unknown, on CNN. Well, I was searching on the internet and I've found a page listed on my <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/lists/1121436368692858000/temple-of-concordia" target="_blank"><u><b>Temple of Concordia</b></u></a> page on CMEuTravelAnd on StumbleUpon. The Greek relics are wonderful and the Temple of Concordia surely and by far rivals Greece and any ancient Greek ruins anywhere...<br />
