Olympíeion Zeus and Pćyli Adrianoú

Along with the Tower of the Winds in the Roman Agora, Olympíeion Zeus and Pyli Adrianoú (Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch) are Athens' most impressive Roman legacy. Both of these structures were completed around AD 130 by the Emperor Hadrian; the temple as a shrine to this paramount Roman god, and the arch to mark the boundary between the old Greek city and Hadrian's new one. Fifteen massive columns remain of what was once Greece's largest temple.
