Not the kind of temple we are used to

About ten minutes away from Syntagma Square lies the Temple of Olympian Zeus. It was the largest temple in Greece during Roman times and held one of the largest statues in the world. While there we also got some great views of the Acropolis.

Only 15 of the original 104 columns are still standing.
Imagine how big it really was.

It took about 650 years to complete the temple...a little longer than the one in Salt Lake
