dc.descriptionThe court, the inner northeast corner (under the reign of Hadrian a major renovation took place, transforming the peristyle courtyard into a garden with canals and small islands); In the west part of the sanctuary, south of the workshop of Phidias, stood the hostel called the Leonidaion, built in 330 BCE and named after its donor and architect Leonidas of Naxos. It is almost square in plan (74.82 x 81.08 m) and was originally intended for distinguished visitors, although it was later used as a residence for Roman officials.
