The Temple of Dioscuri, or Temple of Castor and Pollux, is one of the ancient Greek temples located in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily, Italy. Although largely in ruins, the temple's remaining structure, including four reconstructed columns, provides a glimpse into its historical significance and architectural grandeur. The temple was dedicated to the twin deities Castor and Pollux, who were revered in Greek and Roman mythology. Built in the 5th century BCE, it showcases the classical Doric style typical of the period.
