About this activity
Visit: Temple of Olympian Zeus, Leoforos Vasilissis Olgas Leoforos Amalias, Athens 105 57 Greece

The Temple of Olympian Zeus, one of the most famous archaeological sites in Athens, has been a ruin almost since it was built. Construction began in the 6th century BC., set out to build the greatest temple in the world, but it was not actually finished until about the 2nd century AD. by the Roman emperor Hadrian. In the 3rd century AD it was looted by barbarians and its glory days were over. Since then it has slowly fallen into ruin.

An interesting information in the history of the temple of Zeus is that Hadrian, upon dedicating the temple to Zeus, erected two large statues in the centre of the building. Both were large and one depicted Zeus, the other one Hadrian himself.
