OLYMPIA

In the idyllic region of Ilia, a rural paradise on West Peloponnese, around 700 BC,

a sanctuary was built and became the most important panhellenic

religious, political and sportive site in the Ancient Word.

Here, the gigantic statue of Zeus, one of the 7 Wonders, was built and stood for 8 centuries.

Here, the Ancient Olympic Games were created and took place for a thousand years, praising the gods and glorifying men power,

under the ideals of fair play and peace among rivals.
