temple of olympian zeus (tempio di giove olimpico)印象

Although this temple is in ruins it is still worth seeing. The original scale of the building can still be imagined from the columns (mostly in fragments) and size of the site. Go as part of a visit to the larger temple complex.

The Temple of Olympian Zeus is massive, covering an area large enough to contain a football stadium for 42,000 spectators. The enormous Doric temple included seven columns across the front and back and fourteen on each side. It stood on a large rectangular platform with five steps leading to the entrance. Remains of the front steps give a good idea of how large this building was. Diodorus, an ancient writer confirms the dimensions of the temple and tells us that it remained unfinished and without a roof.The site requires a lot of imagination and to the untrained eye looks like a jumble of large blocks of stone. But careful study soon reveals a beautiful Doric capital, many foundations, the front steps, a sacrificial area out front, and a Telemon or human figure used in the construction of some of the pilasters. The site is pretty open and visitors can easily explore this temple without some of the restrictions and barriers at other Valley of the Temple sites.I particularly enjoyed looking about these ruins. Don't miss this one.

This one is the biggest at the VOT but you can walk in and around this huge construction undertaken 2 millinea ago. You have to use a lot of your imagination. Am glad we saw this in October when weather was much more cooperative and less tiring.

Be sure to visit the museum of archeology before you see the Valley of temples and especially the Temple of Olympian Zeus. There is a model of what this temple would have been if it still existed. And you can see one of the huge statues inside... Just try to imagine the temple with the size of the statue !

This specific temple you can see in only 10 minutes. It is small, although the two statues, on a model, are huge. Wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring water.

Much of the temple is down, lying in pieces but what remains upright gives the viewer a sense of magnitude of the one of the largest tributes to Zeus in all the world. What is left lying on the ground( there has been pilferage of stones) is almost as impressive. Walk around inside for a full sense of the former grandeur.

This is a must see attraction in Agrigento. It took us only an hour to go around all the temples. Be certain that it is extremely hot and one should carry plenty of water.

Visiting this site reminded me all I learn in school about Greek mythology... So interesting! Make sure you read about the history and the Greek mythology before you visit this site, so it makes sense to you and you appreciate it more!

The temple is described as one of the biggest ever built, and you get the feeling that it was huge.The recorded information was invaluable in describing what we were looking at.

I occaisonally visited the west side of the temple park, this was the first. I could feel the Greek Temple ruin!! And visited other ruins. After then I went the east side of the park. You could feel the temples exsited! And also should visit the museo!! You could find the Vast statue of TELAMONE!!私は偶々西側の遺跡から見学し、横たわるテラモネが最初に見た遺跡でしたが、結果的には良かったと思います。何故なら西側には廃墟だけで、東側の神殿遺跡が現存性が印象的に感じます。 高齢の方は東側で御終いという方が多いようですが、先に西側をみて、東に行き、更に博物館を観るのが、お勧めです!! 建っているテラモネの凄さが引立ち、更に遺跡を大切にしている人々の想いを感じます。
