    The Old Olympic Stadium, also known as the Panathenaic Stadium, is a historic landmark in Athens, Greece. Built entirely of white marble, it hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Originally constructed in ancient times for the Panathenaic Games, it was later restored for the revival of the Olympics. With a capacity of 50,000 spectators, it remains a symbol of athletic excellence and history. Today, visitors can explore the stadium, walk its track, and feel the spirit of the Olympic legacy.
