Story · Philippeion
You're standing at the Philippeion, right in the Altis, the sacred heart of ancient Olympia. Notice the round shape. A circular building like this is called a tholos, and this one was built of limestone and marble. It measured fifteen metres across. Take a slow walk around it and try to picture it whole.
