Scalinata degli Artisti (Pass by)
Climb this vibrant staircase, transformed by local artists and students into a colourful canvas of poetry, paintings, and messages celebrating creativity and community.
Collegio dei Padri Filippini (Pass by)
Pass by this historic Baroque/neoclassical building designed in 1703 by Fra’ Simone Mancuso, and learn how a college run by the Filippini fathers became a school, natural history museum, observatory, library, and now a civic gallery with art collections.

Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Greci (Pass by)

Agrigento Cathedral (Pass by)
Watching over Agrigento from the highest point of the hill, pass by this cathedral, built in the 11th century, and view domes, rooftops, valleys—and in the distance, if the sky is clear, even the sea, as if all of Agrigento reveals itself in a single gaze.
