- At the foot of Mount Kronion, the most sacred place of the Altis (the center of the sanctuary of Olympia) is occupied by the very ancient temple of Hera whose construction began in the 6th century B.C. In the foreground, the restored columns seen from the North East. In front of the Heraion, the Olympic spirit, born on this site, has spread today throughout the entire world. Since the advent of the modern Olympic Games, the sacred flame, lit every four years, is carried from this temple to every corner of the world.
