Temple of Olympian Zeus Skip-the-Line Ticket
Overview of the tour in Athens
The Temple of Olympian Zeus (124-132 AD) is located between the Acropolis and the Ilissos river and it was the sanctuary of Olympian Zeus. Here stands one of the greatest ancient temples of Zeus and one of the most famous marble buildings ever constructed.
The temple had three rows of eight columns (peripteral octastyle) on the two narrow sides and two rows of twenty columns (dipteral eikosastyle) on the long sides. It once housed the chryselephantine (gold and ivory) statue of Zeus and the statue of the emperor.
Sixteen of the temple’s columns survive today, thirteen of them, on the east side, intact. Of the remaining three on the west side, one collapsed in 1852.
The archaeological site comprises the temple of Olympian Zeus, Roman baths, Classical residences, a basilica of the fifth century AD, and part of the city’s fortification wall.
Hadrian’s Arch is located just outside the site’s fence.
