Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus is one of the most ancient, as it was a place of worship for Zeus from the dawn of history. Peisistratus the tyrant aimed to construct a grand temple around the end of the 6th Century BC, but his plans were halted by democratic Athens after his regime fell. A century later, the democratic Athenians, who despised Peisistratus’ tyranny, chose not to complete a project that reminded them of his rule. Instead, the materials were used to build the Themistoclean walls. Eventually, Roman Emperor Hadrian completed the temple about 700 years after Peisistratus had erected the first immense columns, measuring 7 feet 10 inches in diameter. The temple was inaugurated in 121 A.D. The 104 Corinthian marble columns of the Roman sanctuary were a third smaller, yet still the largest in Europe, as was the temple itself, measuring 354 by 135 feet.
