General Description
The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens stands as one of the largest temples of the ancient world, a monumental site that showcases the grandeur of classical architecture. Its construction began around 515 BC but was not completed until 131/132 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, more than 600 years later. Built from Pentelic marble in the Corinthian architectural style, the temple once featured a truly awe-inspiring layout.
The structure included 104 Corinthian columns: two rows of twenty on each long side and three rows of eight on the front and back. Today, only fifteen of these original columns remain standing, as one fell during a severe storm in 1852. Despite its partial ruin, the temple remains a key archaeological site and an iconic symbol of ancient Athens.
To the north of the Temple of Olympian Zeus archaeological site, visitors can also observe the remains of the Themistoclean Wall (built around 479/8 BC), ancient dwellings dating from the 5th/4th century BC to the 2nd century AD, and the remnants of Roman baths. These structures enrich the historical context of the area, offering a deeper insight into the urban development of classical and Roman Athens.
