dc.descriptionTemple at the southeast corner, detail, Corinthian capital; To the north of the palaestra and connected with it was the gymnasium, an enclosed rectangular building (120 x 220 m) with a wide court in the centre and colonnades on the four sides. There the athletes trained for such contests as throwing the javelin and discus, and running. It was built in the late 2nd century BCE, while the monumental entrance between it and the palaestra, in the form of an amphiprostyle Corinthian propylon, was erected soon after.
