Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Just next to the top gate of the city stands the building of an impressive size which once served the dual function of a bath and a gymnasium. Some parts of the building are hidden underground, thus you can only see its north-eastern part. It was hard to find information, on what seemed a well-informed site I found "The Termessos gymnasium was quite a typical structure, with a large open courtyard which was covered with sand for wrestling and exercising (palaestra) and pillared halls around it, behind which rooms were located. The collapsed temple-like building in the courtyard is also characteristic of a gymnasium —– . It also had its own cistern which is understandable as gymnasiums typically had their own baths with several swimming pools, so a steady supply of water was necessary. " |
