The Temple of Concord (430 BC) may be the luckiest Greek
Temple of them all. It was first preserved as a Christian
Basilica in the 6th Century and then restored in 1748. I have
seen no finer example of classic Greek architecture anywhere
else in the world. Concord (peace) stars at the Valley of the
Temples, another World Heritage Site in Sicily.

I cared about capturing the Temple of Concord's image from
whatever angles the setting sun allowed. It was fully ready
for a close-up.

At best whatever else survives at the Valley of the Temples,
such as the Temple of Hercules, offers no competition to the
Temple of Concord.
