Stadium

In the flat area northeast of the Sacred Lake, an area where there is plenty of water in the wells (as needed for gymnasiums), the educational and athletic center of the city was gradually built: the hippodrome, the old gymnasium, the granite palaestra, the private palaestra of Staseas, and a little farther, the new gymnasium and the stadium (Hellenistic period). Next to the stadium, a whole neighborhood developed: the Stadium Quarter (one of the three districts excavated on the island, the other two being the Theater and Skardana or Limni Quarters).
