Pompeii, The Great Palestra - John Seach

The Great Palestra is located opposite the Amphitheatre and was excavated between 1936 and 1951.
Pompeians used to come here for athletic games and sports. The area is 130 by 140 m and has a pool
surrounded by two rows of trees which provided relief from the sun. Traces of the roots can be seen.
