The Stadium of Delphi lies on the highest spot of the Archaeological Site of Delphi [1]. It overlooks the sanctuary of Apollo and has a view to the Delphic landscape [1]. It was built either within the second half of the 4th century B.C. or even after the Galatian attacks [1]. The Stadium of Delphi is the best preserved ancient stadium in Greece [1]. The stadium occupied the highest part of the site, built over and to the northwest of the sanctuary of Apollo [1]. It is epigraphically attested as "the pythikon stadion" [1]. Within the stadium took place the "gymnastic" contests, i.e., the track and field sports [1].
