In this area is a potentially confusing mixture of sites from different eras and sites with current building very different than what was there in ancient times.

Here is one of the largest temples in ancient Greece, and the modern rebuilding of a site for the Olympics. In this area are also some small shrines - and one only discovered in the last half-century.

Temple of Olympian Zeus

One of the largest temples of the ancient world.

Hadrian's Arch

Built by the Romans to mark the beginning of the new city.

Panathenaic Stadium

Site of the rebirth of the Olympics in 1896.

Smaller temples

Smaller sites toward the south of the Temple of Olympian Zeus

River Illios

About the only place left to see this, mentioned by Plato.
