The Nemea Archaeological Museum is on the site of the Temple of Zeus.  The Temple of Zeus is large, with 6 columns at the front and back of the building and 13 at the sides.  Workmen are now trying to put some of the columns back up. Because the columns fell over like dominos, it is easier to figure out how they go back together.

Nemea was an important site in the ancient Greek world because it was the site of one of the Panhellenic games ("pan" means "all" and "Hellenic" means "Greek"). During the Nemea games, Greeks from all over the country would come to compete and watch. All wars were stopped so that the athletes could come.

Around the temple, there is also a bathhouse built during the Roman period (that is over 2,300 years ago).  You can still see the very large bathtubs, sinks, and pipes.
