Walking the streets of Athens(IX).The Temple of Zeus. Περπατώντας στους δρόμους της Αθήνας(IX).Ο Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός.

Only a few of the columns are remaining of the original magnificent Temple of Olympic Zeus.But while you are looking at it you can imagine its glory and beauty before it was destroyed.
Μόνο λίγες κολώνες στέκουν ακόμη και μαρτυρούν για το μεγαλείο του όσο έστεκε ακόμη ολόκληρος.
