Temple of Olympian Zeus
The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens is a monumental ancient temple whose remaining monumental columns stand in a large open archaeological precinct. Originally a large peripteral temple dedicated to Zeus, its surviving columns and platform define the footprint and scale of the original building. The visible remains sit within a fenced site near the modern city.

As it stood in AD 132
The shape it held in its prime.
A raised rectangular marble platform (crepidoma) supports a dense forest of very tall, fluted Corinthian columns in pale cream marble with orange-brown weather staining; many columns rise intact to full height and carry broad entablature blocks and fragmentary architrave. Capitals are carved with acanthus leaves, and heavy blocks of the cornice and pediment lie across the tops. The temple sits on open grassy ground with the city and rocky Acropolis visible beyond.
