Nel mezzo di una caotica Atene, è situata la più grande struttura di culto di tutta la Grecia Antica.
Nel periodo ellenistico e romano, il tempio di Giove Olimpico, di cui rimane ben poco, era il più imponente: misurava 96 metri in lunghezza e 40 in larghezza e aveva 104 colonne corinzie, alte ognuna 17 metri, assolutamente impressionanti.
Solo 15 esemplari possono essere ammirati ancora oggi in piedi, mentre una sedicesima giace a terra, sull’antica pavimentazione del tempio, abbattuta da una tempesta nel 1852, essa dona un tocco apocalittico all’intera location, un chiaro esempio della fine di un impero.
I lavori di costruzione del tempio furono iniziati nel 515 a.C., ma portati a termine solo nel 131 d.C., ben 700 anni dopo, dall’imperatore romano Adriano, che dedicò a Zeus, il padre di tutte le divinità greche, l’opera.
Oggi possiamo solo immaginare il suo antico fasto.
Un magnifico sito di rovine, dove un unico sguardo è sufficiente per avere un’idea della maestosità di questo luogo di culto.
Indosso un outfit in B&W lì dove, nonostante la malinconia della terra brulla e disseminata di rovine intorno, non è difficile percepire il fantasma imponente e solenne del tempio che fu.

The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion, is a Greco-Roman temple in the center of Athens.
Its unusually tall columns and ambitious layout made the temple one of the largest ever built in the ancient world.
The temple is made of fine marble brought from Mount Pentelus and originally measured 96 meters long and 40 meters wide.
There were originally 104 Corinthian columns, each 17 meters high; 48 of
these stood in triple rows under the pediments and 56 in double rows at
the sides.
these stood in triple rows under the pediments and 56 in double rows at
the sides.
Only 15 columns remain standing today, with lovely
Corinthian capitals still in place. One other column
collapsed as recently as 1852 CE in a storm and now lies across the
site with its column drums picturesquely spread along a perfect line.

It was built over several centuries starting in 174 BCE and only finally completed by Roman emperor Hadrian in 131 CE. It was a monumental and really impressive
temple dedicated to king of Gods Zeus.

Today we can only imagine its former splendor.
A magnificent site of ruins, where a single glance is enough to get an idea of the majesty of this place of religious cult.
I’m wearing a monochrome outfit, in this amazing location where, despite the melancholy of the barren earth and scattered with the ruins around, it is not difficult to perceive the imposing and solemn Phantom of the temple that was.
