Temple of Olympian Zeus
back to Athens activities
Built in dedication to the king of gods, the Temple of Olympian Zeus boasted of over 100 Corinthian columns and a giant statue of Zeus. Today, the structure is but a shadow of its former self. Only a few columns remain, never to recover from an invasion (in the 4th century AD) that led to the temple’s destruction.
