Olympia, Greece

OLYMPIA, GREECE - APRIL, 13 : A view from the side of a row of columns in the Palaestra, on April 13, 2007, in Olympia, Greece. The Palastra, seen throwing shadows in the early morning sun, was built in the 3rd century BC and is part of the Gymnasium complex. The central courtyard was used for boxing and wrestling practice, and the surrounding rooms are of unknown use. After being covered by alluvial deposits for hundreds of years Olympia was rediscovered in 1776, and excavated in the 19th century. (Photo by Manuel Cohen)
