These ruins are extremely appealing. You can spot them from the Acropolis and you immediately wonder how to get there to get a closer look.
The construction of the Zeus Temple took almost 700 year to be completed. It was the Roman emperor Hadrian who ordered it to be finished. One century later it was pillaged and never repaired. In the following centuries it was used as a quarry for the construction of other buildings.
The size of the remaining columns give us an idea of the massive dimensions of the original temple.
