The stadium at Delphi, Greece. Artist: Samuel Magal
The stadium at Delphi, Greece. High up the hill, beyond the Sacred Way and the theater lies the ancient stadium. Built in the 5th century BC it was remodelled several times during the centuries. Its present form was acquired in the 2nd century when Herodus Atticus financed the stone seating and the arched entrance. Its stone seats could sit around 6500 spectators, and it was used extensively during the Pythian and Panhellenic games for athletic events and for music festivals. Its track is 177.55 m long (about 550 ft.), and 25.50 m wide.
