Your Experience
Discover a historical marvel dedicated to Zeus, chief of the Olympian Gods. Envisioned in the 6th century BC as the world’s largest temple, construction reached completion around 638 years later by Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. The Temple of Olympian Zeus boasts 104 towering columns and two colossal statues—one of Zeus and one of Hadrian himself—making it Greece's grandest structure.
Explore on your own schedule
The temple’s glory was fleeting, as it fell to barbarians in the 3rd century AD. Subsequently neglected and possibly never restored, its ruins remain a significant archaeological site in Athens. Wander through this historical landmark leisurely while imagining its past splendor with all columns and statues intact. The multilingual audio guide offers insights into the temple's history and lasting impact on architecture and art.
