Stadium of Delphi

[1] The stadium occupied the highest part of the site, built over and to the northwest of the sanctuary of Apollo.

A 2nd century BC inscription informs us on Satyr the Samian who performed a hymn "for the god and the Greeks" to the sound of the guitar.

[3] Another interesting inscription, embedded on the eastern side of the support wall, is that forbidding to take out the wine destined for sacred rituals.

A final restoration phase took place in the Roman period, consisting of the revetment of the tiers with stone.

The starting line is preserved on the east accompanied with two rows of incised slabs for placing the feet of the runners.
