Day 5 Olympia

Ruins at Olympia.

The Stadium at Olympia.  There were no seats for the spectators.   The stone line across is the starting line of races.
A round Ionic Temple built by Philip of Macedonia.  A more recent addition from 300 BC.
The Doric temple of Hera in the background.  The grassy area in the foreground is where the Olympic torch starts.
