A palaestra was a building in ancient Greece where wrestling was taught and practiced. The word palaestra is based on the Greek word pale, which means wrestling. From the sixth century BC through the end of the Roman Imperial age, palaestras were built throughout Greece.
A palaestra was the place where Greek athletes trained for and practiced wrestling, the pankration, and sometimes boxing. The palaestra at Olympia was built sometime in the third century BC. It is north of the gymnasion. It is square. Its sides are each about 66 meters long.
The Palaestra hosts the permanent exhibition of the grand frescoes and artefacts found in the Complex of the Moregine Triclinia, a distinguished building situated about 600 metres away from the site of Pompeii, at the river port. Date of excavation: 1935-1939.
