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!

On n'a pas pu entrer car c'était trop tard et le site n'acceptait plus de visiteurs, mais la visite sur place n'est pas indispensable car il est tout à fait possible de voir l'ensemble des colonnes depuis la clôture du site, ainsi que depuis le sommet du mont Lycabette et de l'Acropole.

Lors de notre visite la partie en contrebas était fermée au public, ce qui fait que la visite était assez courte, mais néanmoins agréable. On se sent tout petit au pied de ces grandes colonnes.

On peut voir le temple de Zeus olympien, il reste certains colonnes érigés en très bonne état et un colonne par terre entier. Meilleur profiter du pass commun pour 12€ et visiter entre autres l'acropole. sachant que le pass a la duré de 4 jours.
