Archaeological Site of Olympia

The Archaeological Site of Olympia is the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, which were held here for more than one thousand years. The best-preserved ruins there include the Temple of Hera, with its colossal statue; the Philippeion, a circular building with a central dome that once housed the Olympic throne; and the stadium, which has been restored to its original shape. The site is also notable for the number of ancient Greek sculptures that have been found here. This archaeological site is one of many from the ancient world that provides evidence of the Romans' military power. Paintings on rocks and pottery found in what was once a natural cave preserved for more than 2,000 years, give archaeologists a glimpse of what life was like for the early Romans. The paintings show Roman soldiers and horses, with rides and battle scenes.
