Temple of Olympian Zeus

This temple was constructed in the Sixth century BC in order to honor the god Zeus. It was supposed to be the greatest temple in the ancient world. It was also considered the largest ancient temple with 104 tall columns. Nowdays you can only see fifteen of the original columns however it is still impressive and worth to visit and photograph. To get to this temple is pretty simple specially if you are near the Acropolis. The temple of Olympian Zeus is just 500m southeast of the acropolis. #createwithtrip #greece #athens #temple #templeofolympianzeus
