Being here inside the stadium makes one feel energetic and alive. 

The grand Panathenaic Stadium lies between two pine-covered hills between the neighbourhoods of Mets and Pangrati. 

It was originally built in the 4th century BC as a venue for the Panathenaic athletic contests. 

It's said that at Hadrian’s inauguration in AD 120, 1000 wild animals were sacrificed in the arena. 

Later, the seats were rebuilt in Pentelic marble by Herodes Atticus.
