Archaeological Site of Olympia

The Archaeological Site of Olympia in Greece was a major religious sanctuary dedicated to Zeus on the western Peloponnese [1][2]. The ancient Olympic Games, first traditionally dated to 776 BC, were held every four years from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD at this sanctuary [1][2]. The site includes the temples of Zeus and Hera, sacred venues, athletic venues, and public buildings [2][3].
