"Beyond the wood, on the long high ridge, the surviving Temples arose, and seemed to be set intentionally at a distance, to enhance the beautiful view from the magnificent villa" From “The Old and the Young” by Luigi Pirandello
A magnificent residence of the end of the 18th century, it is at the same time a custodian of the classical traces that may be discovered almost everywhere, like in some treasure trove. Situated 200 metres away from the Temple of Concordia, a true masterpiece of Doric art dating back to the 5th century B.C., Villa Athena is a place where nature art and beauty have been merging together for over 2,500 years in the presence of the gods.
