Panathenaic Stadium | Athens, Greece
The Panathenaic Stadium or Kallimarmaro is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. One of the main historic attractions of Athens, it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. A stadium was built on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos c. 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games. It was rebuilt in marble by Herodes Atticus, an Athenian Roman senator in 144 AD and had a capacity of 50,000 seats. After the rise of Christianity in the 4th century it was largely abandoned. After being refurbished, the stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896.
