Site to discover the remains of the colossal temple of Olympian Zeus.

This site allows you to discover the remains of the colossal temple of Zeus Olympian: 15 erected columns that are still very impressive. It must be said that the Olympiion was the largest temple ever built in Greece! Begun by Pisistrate in the 6th century BC, it was completed 600 years later by Emperor Hadrian before being destroyed by the Barbarians. The setting sun bathed the surviving columns in a magnificent golden hue, and we can understand this stylite hermit who, in the 17th century, chose the top of one of them to install his cabin!

En cours de restauration
Les colonnes étaient en cours de restauration lors de ma visite. Cela était donc un peu décevant. C'est cependant un beau site qui permet également d'imaginer les bains.

A faire si on a pris le billet groupé. On voit le site depuis l’extérieur et en raison des gros travaux actuels on a passé notre tour

Un de plus beau site d'Athènes
En dehors du site de l'Acropole, c'est l'Olympiéion qui mérite le plus le détour à Athènes. Il faut prendre le pass combiné avec l'Acropole, valable 5 jours, ça en vaut la peine pour tous les sites à visiter dans Athènes. Les colonnes sont majestueuses et très bien conservées. Baladez-vous dans le parc pour bien vous imprégnez de cette unique atmosphère.
