Visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus, one of the largest temples of the ancient world and a must-see landmark in Athens. Dedicated to Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, this monumental site once featured towering marble columns that showcased the power and ambition of ancient Greek architecture.

Construction began in the 6th century BC and was completed nearly 700 years later under the Roman Emperor Hadrian, whose influence remains visible throughout the site. Located near the Acropolis and Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Olympian Zeus offers visitors a striking glimpse into Athens’ classical and Roman past.
