The Temple of Olympian Zeus

The building of this temple began in the 6th century and only completed by Emperor Hadrian in 131AD. This is the largest temple in Greece.

 

 
 

Only 15 of the original 104 Corinthian columns remain today. Each column is 17 m high enough to give a sense of the enormous size of this temple
