Gymnasium

Outside the Altis, north of the Palaestra and on the eastern banks of the Alpheus river lie the ruins of the Gymnasium. It was built in the 2nd cent. BC and served as the training ground for the athletes of the javelin and the discus, as well as for the runners. It was a square building, 220 m. long and 100 m. wide and had stoas on all four sides. In the western stoa were the athletes' chambers while the eastern one had two colonnades and supposedly, was the most impressive of all. The entrance to the building was marked by a monumental propylon on the southeast corner.
