Best Answer

The most famous temple to Zeus was the one in Olympia, built in 470-456 BC. It was destroyed in the 5th century AD. Another, even bigger one, was begun about 480 BC in Agrigento, Sicily. It seems this was never completed. The one in Athens was founded as early as the 6th century BC, but not finished until the 2nd century AD. In the 3rd century AD it fell into disuse and was ruined shortly after. A few giant columns are still standing.
