Greeks, Carthaginians, tyrants, Romans and finally Sicilians have all made Agrigento their home. The town is particularly noted for its almond trees and the blossoms that coat the countryside during January and February. This event is celebrated in the almond blossom festival , or Sagra del Mandorlo in Fiore held around the same time. Architecture is as varied as the inhabitants with Greek temples, Roman gates and tufa churches all cohabiting the area.
