No visit to Athens without Olympic Games´ Sites -
unfortunately i only had time for the old one.
The Panathinaiko (Panathenaic) Stadium in Athens is the
only major stadium in the world built fully of white
marble (from Mount Penteli).
In ancient times it was used to host the athletic
portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the
Goddess Athena. During classical times the stadium had
wooden seating. It was remade in marble by the archon
Lycurgus in 329 BC and was enlarged and renovated by
Herodes Atticus in 140 AD, to a seated capacity of
50,000. The remnants of the ancient structure were
excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by
Evangelos Zappas for the revival of the Olympic
Games. Evangelos Zappas sponsored Olympic Games that
were held there in 1870 and 1875. The stadium was
refurbished a second time in 1895 for the 1896 Summer
Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek
benefactor George Averoff (whose marble statue now
stands at the entrance), based on designs by architects
Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller. The stadium was
built long before dimensions for athletics venues were
standardized and its track and layout follow the
ancient hairpin-like model. It can seat about 80,000
spectators on 50 rows of marble steps.

Hi Thor
I love that photo with the aisle that's curving to the right and all those bleachers forming a circular patern. The color of the marble is well rendered. Too bad the sky was dull but we have to do with it.
Good photo
