Between the City and the
Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates there is the Stadium that we see
today, which was constructed in the period of Antoninus 2nd
century A.D.). The Hellenic Pentathlon (running, high jump, long
jump, wrestling, javelin,) should have been the basic sports
practised in this Stadium. Chariot and horse races related to
the cult of Apollo should also have been practised there since
the Archaic period according to the testimonies obtained in
ceramic and plastic that is to say the clusters of pottery
offerings to the Sanctuary but not to the precise Stadium the
turn of which was too small for horse races.
Southern the Stadium there is
westwards a fragment of the aqueduct, which was transporting
water to Kourion from the rich springs of the Zanatzia area.
It was also destroyed in the 4th
century A.D.
