Echo Stoa, Ancient Greek stoa in Ancient Olympia, Greece
The Echo Stoa extends 98 meters along the eastern boundary of the Sacred Altis, featuring a row of Doric columns and covered walkways.
Built around 350 BCE, the Echo Stoa served as a separation between the stadium and sanctuary, marking the finish line of ancient Olympic races.
The structure functioned as a public gathering space where athletes, spectators, and merchants congregated during the ancient Olympic Games.
The archaeological site remains stand within the main Olympia complex, with educational panels explaining the architectural features and functions.
The structure earned its name from its acoustic properties, where a single spoken word would reverberate multiple times through the colonnade.
