The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Agrigento, Italy, is an ancient Greek temple dedicated to Zeus, king of the gods. It was built in the 5th century BC and is one of the largest and best-preserved Doric temples in the world. The temple was constructed on a massive scale, with 6x13 columns originally standing at over 20 meters tall. Today, only a few of the columns remain standing, but the impressive size and grandeur of the temple can still be appreciated.
