Re-built in 329 B.C. completely with white marble from ruins of an ancient Greek stadium, this Athens venue also called Kallimarmaron hosted the first contemporary Olympic games in 1896. Panathinaiko Stadium, which now has a capacity of 45,000, was renovated throughout the years and hosted the Olympics again in 2004. Its image is featured on a 2003 euro collector's coin in addition to 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics medals. This one-of-kind arena is truly intriguing.
