Panathenaic Stadium

The experience

The all-marble stadium known as Kallimarmaro, rebuilt in gleaming white Pentelic marble for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 on the exact site of the ancient Panathenaic stadium of 330 BC. Its long horseshoe seats around 45,000 and still hosts the finish of the Athens Marathon and the ceremonial handover of the Olympic flame.

The only major stadium in the world built entirely of marble, and the birthplace of the modern Olympics.
