The palaestra at Olympia, Greece
A palaestra (/pəˈliːstrə/ or /-ˈlaɪ-/;[1]
also (chiefly British) palestra; Greek: παλαίστρα)[2] was any site of an ancient Greek wrestling school. Events requiring little space, such as boxing and wrestling, took place there. Palaestrae functioned both independently and as a part of public gymnasia; a palaestra could exist without a gymnasium, but no gymnasium existed without a palaestra.
