The ruins of the Roman stadium of Patras. It was presumably built in the last quarter of the 1st century AD (approx. 80-90 AD).
It is assumed that the
stadium was a gift from Emperor Domitian to celebrate the city's 100th anniversary as a Roman colony.
The visible remains include substructures of the spectator stands (Cavea) on the southern long side.
In addition to sporting competitions, it probably also served as an amphitheater for gladiator fights.
