[5]The vivacity of the buildings

The Oratory of Phalaris still has traces of its original colour: the building was probably covered with white stucco painted on the side walls and according to Hellenic tradition, metopes and triglyphs that ran on the frieze would have been blue and red.
A triumph of bright colours, lit by the warm Agrigento sun.
