Stoa of Echo, view of various pedestal remains for votive monuments (these lined the front of the Stoa of Echo); 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.
