Kallimarmaron
Kallimarmaron Panathinaikon Stadium is a unique monument, excellently preserved until nowadays. It’s actually the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble and this is where the first Olympic Games of modern history in 1896 took place. It was built between 330-329 BC and was used in ancient times to host the Panathenaic Games, to honor Goddess Athena. The marbles of this astonishing stadium were refurbished in 1900, with funding provided by benefactor George Averoff, whose statue now stands on the right side of the entrance.
