Athens 2020 – Temple of Olympian Zeus – Fallen-down column

Athens 2020 – Temple of Olympian Zeus – Fallen-down column
The column fell down during a storm in 1852.

Building started in 520 BC, but it was only completed in 132 AD under emperor Hadrian. In 267 AD the temple was badly damaged during the Sack of Athens by the Heruli. In later years much of the stones were used for houses. Today 15 columns are still standing.
