In recent years, along with the promotion, conservation and active protection of cultural heritage, the topic of accessibility with regard to cultural attractions has become of primary importance, with the aim – in line with national and international recommendations and regulations – of ensuring the concrete implementation of measures to guarantee the right of “access for all”.

In this regard, the Archaeological and Landscape Park of the Valley of the Temples – in collaboration with Società Cooperativa Culture – aims to provide a cultural experience to visitors with different disabilities, special needs and sensory impairments, enabling everyone – both with and without disabilities – to enjoy the archaeological site to the full thanks to the adoption of solutions accessible to most users.
The park is equipped with structural, educational and informative supports to remove physical barriers or sensory or communication difficulties to enable all visitors to fully understand and enjoy their visit, with a constant focus on the continuous implementation of appropriate solutions.
