Full description
Visiting Ancient Olympia is a journey through time and culture. It is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, where visitors can admire significant monuments such as the majestic Temple of Zeus, which once housed Phidias' chryselephantine statue, and the Temple of Hera. The ancient stadium, the council house (Bouleuterion), the gymnasiums, and Phidias’ workshop reveal the importance of the site. The Archaeological Museum impresses with its unique artistic exhibits.
Set in a lush natural landscape, Olympia offers an unforgettable experience of history, sports, and culture. This is a unique digital experience that reconstructs the site as it was in antiquity — an experience only the Culture App can offer!
