Temple of Olympian ZeusPass-by Only
The construction of the Temple of Zeus began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, but it was not completed until the 2nd century AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. The long construction period is due to various historical events, including the political changes in Athens. The temple was built to honor Zeus, the chief deity in the Greek pantheon. It housed a massive statue of Zeus made of gold and ivory by the renowned sculptor Phidias.
Arco Di AdrianoPass-by Only
The arch was built in 132 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who visited Athens during his reign. It was constructed to commemorate Hadrian's benefactions to the city and to symbolize the separation between the old city and the new one. The arch served as a clear marker between the old city of Athens, which was closely tied to its mythological and historical past, and the new Roman city established by Hadrian.
