Temple of Zeus at Nemea (Greece)

The temple of Zeus was built around 330 B.C. to serve the need of the Nemean festival and games. The temple is peripteral with 6x12 columns, built of local limestone. It was used for a period of less than 70 years. When the games were moved to Argos, the area was abandoned, and a period of decline began. Pausanias, who visited Nemea during the 2nd century A.D., found the temple roof in collapse and the cult st5atue missing. In the years that followed, the temple was brought down and quarried for stone.
