Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Greci

Reviewed By niki101 - London, United Kingdom

The history of the building starts in the 5th century BC when on the same site was built a Greek temple dedicated to Athena. It was pretty emotional to see the survived columns from the Greek temple incorporated into the walls through the glass floor, and even to touch them in the underground tunnel in the flower-filled courtyard. At one point, during the Norman times, the church became the cathedral of the city, while at the same time the Normans were building San Gerlando’s Cathedral not far away. The frescoes go back to 15th century and show images of Mary’s life. Despite being damaged they are still beautiful. A young woman was there to give me some information about the church in English. She also explained about the entrances: the current entrance of the church is on the west side but as a temple, the entrance was on the east side. Thank you! To reach the church was an amazing experience itself. Tucked away in the old top part of Agrigento, we had to stroll in the charming maze of narrow streets with hundred steep steps and courtyards. I didn’t mind to get lost around for hours. During our visit, meeting some of the locals was a rare event but it was a great joy walking among some of their old charming houses and colourful streets. After seeing so much rubbish everywhere in Agrigento, people here really deserve some respect for trying to keep their streets clean and fresh. The church has opening hours so I had to return to be able to visit. Enjoy it!
