Races were held here since some 2400 years; Panathinaiko stadium is unique in the world in that it is entirely made of marble - with a view of the icon of Greece, the Parthenon.
Greece is the cradle for several remarkable things that still have their impact on the world. One of the things making Athens famous, is that the very first modern Olympic Games were held here in 1896. While the Greeks built a completely new stadium for the 2004 Olympics, the ancient stadium is the Panathinaiko Stadium in the city. It is the only marble stadium in the world, and was originally built in ancient times. It was here that Panathenaic Games were held in ancient Greece - in honour of the Greek goddess Athena, goddess of wisdom and heroic endeavour. Originally built in wood, it was turned into a unique marble stadium in 329BCE, later expanded by Herodes Atticus to make the stadium's capacity an amazing 50.000. The Panatinaiko Stadium was excavated and reestablished for a first attempt to organize the Olympics again in 1870 and 1875, and was again refurbished in 1895 for the first modern Olympics in 1896.
