Agrigento was the birthplace of the philosopher-politician Empedocles. Under the tyranny, it was a considerable centre of the arts. The city was neutral in the struggle between Athens and Syracuse but was ravaged by the Carthaginians in 406 BC, a disaster from which it never really recovered. Agrigento was founded on a plateau overlooking the sea, with two nearby rivers, the Hypsas and the Acragas. It is known for its history and ancient religious sites.
