View looking north down what was the Stoa of Echo, depicting the entire east edge of the Sanctuary, with the remains of the smaller Stoa of Hestia in the foreground; Excavations have shown that the embankment of the narrow western side of the stadium was truncated after the mid-4th century BCE, when the Echo Stoa was built, which entirely separated the stadium from the sanctuary.
