The Michelin Guide's review
According to tradition, this small temple, the symbol of Agrigento, is called the Temple of the Dioscuri after the non-identical twins Castor and Pollux. All that remains of the temple are four columns, rebuilt in the 19C, plus a section of the entablature restored in the 19C (not in its original position). On the right, note the remains of a sanctuary dedicated to the gods of the underworld.
