About This Attraction

The Temple of Olympian Zeus is a temple ruin in the center of Athens, Greece, dedicated to the thunderbolt-wielding king of the Olympic pantheon, Zeus. It once contained a gigantic statue of Zeus that was among the largest cult statues of the ancient world.
The temple was pillaged after the fall of the Roman Empire, and the statue of Zeus was likely broken down for precious materials, although its precise fate was lost in the annals of time. Only a few of the huge columns remain of this once-mighty temple, but it is a precious remnant of cultural heritage and a breathtaking piece of history to behold.
We can only hope whoever did the ransacking was struck by a mysterious bolt of lightning...

Monument en rénovation, malheureusement rien a voir pour le prix , tout es visible depuis l’extérieur et vous ne verrez que 3 colonnes dont une écroulée. Très dommage par rapport à tout le panel d’ activités à d’Athene.

Er is vrij weinig te zien, de pilaren die er zijn staan in de steigers en eigenlijk kan je het ook prima zien vanaf de buitenkant door de hekken want het is klein genoeg om alles te zien
