The palestra of Olympia’s sanctuary was built in the 4th century B.C to lodge the athletes. In this square court with peristyle, athletes trained for wrestling, fighting, but also running and jumping accompanied by the flute player. The very popular palestra was the place where philosophers, orators and politicians would frequently come to exercise their influence.
