Perched high above the Temple of Apollo, the Stadium of Delphi is one of the best-preserved ancient stadiums in Greece. Originally built in the 5th century BC and later renovated in stone by the Roman benefactor Herodes Atticus in the 2nd century AD, it could host around 6,500 spectators. The track measures about 177 meters in length, with starting grooves still visible today.

The stadium was the stage for the athletic contests of the Pythian Games, held every four years in honor of Apollo. Victors were crowned with laurel wreaths, symbolizing the sacred tree of the god. Surrounded by the dramatic slopes of Mount Parnassus, the stadium not only evokes the spirit of ancient competition but also offers one of the most breathtaking views of the sanctuary and the...

Parte all'aperto del sito archeologico di Delphi. Biglietto unico 20€, si può acquistare ai piedi del museo, a destra subito dopo i bagni gratuiti (e a seguire il bar) ma in quel caso bisogna prima visitare questo sito all'aperto (100metri a destra) e poi il museo. Se si vuole visitare prima il museo, andare oltre la prima biglietteria e salire tutti i gradini del museo di fronte all'edificio, che poi proseguono sulla destra e acquistare il ticket in quella biglietteria: proseguendo a sinistra c'è il museo, e poi visitare l'area all'aperto. In entrambi i casi TENERE il biglietto per accedere alle due aree! Purtroppo non viene consegnato nessun materiale informativo, non accennano nemmeno a una app scaricabile (a quanto pare, vedendo appesi alcuni fogli con QR code....). Ingresso del sito archeologico all'aperto con lavori in corso. Parcheggio gratuito lungo tutta la strada a lato (quello "ufficiale" è forse formato da pochissimi posti auto sulla costa). C'è una fontanella per l'acqua potabile dopo il museo a sinistra. Le due aree del sito sono collegate da un vialetto pedonale all'ombra di alberi. L'area all'aperto segue la Via Sacra, a salire in sterrato o con gradini in pietra man mano sulla collina sotto al sole con pochissimi alberi per l'ombra. Portare acqua, crema solare, cappellino e potrebbe essere utile un ombrellino per chi patisce il sole. Salendo si incontrano i vari punti archeologici come il tempio di Apollo e in cima lo stadio. Ci sono tabelloni descrittivi in alcune lingue ai vari punti (sotto al sole cocente). Come spesso accade in questi sito, mancano nei vari punti immagini di come poteva essere al tempo, un modellino o un riferimento della maestosità della zona. Bella vista nei dintorni, rende l'idea della maestosità dell'ambiente e un briciolo dell'atmosfera che poteva esserci al tempo in questo luogo dell'oracolo, considerato il centro del mondo. (Il museo invece contiene i reperti dell'area all'aperto, spesso però non viene data la giusta importanza ad alcuni pezzi, o sono posizionato separati andando un po' a perdere il senso e...

The long uphill walk is rewarded by this spectacular sight. Second only to the games in Olympia (which today we know as the Olympics), this magnificent stadium was the home of the great Pythian games. The setting is a place of beauty in itself. The stadium is surrounded by trees, providing an aura of nature that surpasses by far the atmosphere of any such construct within an urban environment. The stadium is impressive, still preserved to a level that allows the visitors to picture the games without great need of applying their...

Stadionul, situat în partea de sus a Sanctuarului lui Apollo, totuși în afara zidurilor de incintă ale acestuia, a fost locul evenimentelor sportive asociate Jocurilor Pythice din Delphi. Jocurile Pythice au fost unul dintre cele patru jocuri pan-helene ale Greciei antice. Se desfășurau tot din 4 în 4 ani, la doi ani după Jocurile Olimpice din Olympia și încadrate de jocurile din Nemea în Argos și de cele Istmice din Corint. La fel ca la Olympia, și la Delphi jocurile erau însoțite de o pace pan-helenă anunțată de emisari cu luni înainte. Deși pe locul doi ca importanță după Jocurile Olimpice, spre desebire de acestea, Jocurile Pythice erau însoțite de manifestările culturale și care le precedau pe cele sportive, la unele evenimente fiind permisă și participarea femeilor. Concursurile sportive includeau probe atletice constând în alergări pe diferite distanțe, alergări cu echipamentul de luptă, pentatlon, aruncarea suliței și altele, precum și lupte în diverse stiluri. Toate acestea se țineau în stadionul pe care îl vedem, cu excepția concursurilor hipice care încheiau Jocurile Pythice și care se desfășurau pe alt stadion. Din păcate, în perioada vizitei noastre, toamna 2022, accesul turiștilor era interzis în Stadion, fără a fi dată vreo explicație.
