Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens
Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός
The Temple of Olympian Zeus is the ruined Corinthian temple completed by the emperor Hadrian, in the Olympieion archaeological site between the Acropolis and Ardittos Hill in central Athens.
Why go
Hellenic Heritage presents the Olympieion as the sanctuary of Olympian Zeus, between the Acropolis and Ardittos Hill on the banks of the Ilissos. It says the temple was begun around 515 BC and completed by the emperor Hadrian in AD 131-132, a Corinthian temple of Pentelic marble with 104 columns, of which fifteen still stand, with one more lying on the ground after it fell in a storm in 1852. This record is the temple, which stands in the archaeological site ticketed as the Olympieion; Wikidata keeps the ancient sanctuary as a separate item, and Hadrian's Arch is a separate place. The official ticket store sells entry as 'Visit Olympieion' and says entry is timed, a ticket may be changed up to two hours before the visit and tickets are not refundable.
