Heroon

The Heroon was located at the outer side of the sanctuary of the Altis, west of Theikoleon, northwest of Phidias' workshop and south of the Palaestra. It was a small two-room building with a vestibule and originally served as baths. Based on an inscription of the Hellenistic years and on a circular construction found in one of the rooms, the archaeologists considered the building to be a heroon.
