Olimpia
A sacred sanctuary dedicated to Zeus, Olimpia is located at the intersection of two rivers in western Peloponnese. Its sweeping landscape is home to a rich collection of ancient monuments.
The site is an archaeological wonder, from prehistoric times to the end of Roman civilization. Over 70 temples, treasuries, altars, and statues are scattered across the area. Some were built for sporting events, while others were dedicated to the worship of Zeus.
Throughout the sanctuary of Olympia, visitors can admire some of the most beautiful examples of Hellenic art. The Altis, the sacred grove, has been preserved in almost perfect condition. It is a space of spirituality and ideological weight that can be appreciated today as in antiquity, where Zeus’s values of fair competition and Sacred Truce were enshrined.
Visitors can also discover the remains of temples and sanctuaries that once stood on this land in these same sacred forests. The monuments and votives left behind at this sanctuary are preserved in their original form.
Criterion (iv): The sanctuary of Olympia bears exceptional testimony to the cultural heritage of Greece in general and the Peloponnese in particular. During the Middle Helladic and Mycenaean periods, it was the focal point for worshipping many gods and goddesses.
The sanctuary of Olympia has been a site of religious pilgrimage since ancient times when people from all over the world would visit to pray and pay tribute to Zeus. During the Olympic Games, which were celebrated every four years, athletes and their entourage would leave all other activities to gather in the area of Olympia for three months.
At the peak of its popularity, Olympia was a large city that ruled over the Peloponnese region. In the middle of the 3rd century, it suffered serious damage from a series of earthquakes. However, the sanctuary survived until 393 AD when Emperor Theodosius I banned all pagan festivals.
Despite this, Olympia continued to hold the Olympic Festival until the end of its existence. It was later destroyed by the Roman Empire, with the Temple of Zeus falling into ruins.
