There was a large staue of Zeus and of Hadrian inside, but the statue was lost when transfered to Constantinople in the Byzantine era. Barbarians destroyed parts of the temple and much of the rest was used as a quarry. One more column collapsed during a storm in 1852.
Note: Greek treasures take a hit due to austerity cuts
