Category:Bouleuterion in Olympia

English: Any bouleuterion is the seat of the boule, or ruling council. Here they must be the administrators of the games, who made legally binding decisions over them. The building was located just north of the South Stoa, the main entrance to the park, today a relatively isolated tract near the river junction. No standing walls survive, as they do with other buildings in the area. The building appears as a grassy field with blocks in it. Most photographs also capture the wall of the south stoa to the south, making it appear to be part of the bouleuterion. On the west side are low standing walls of two rectangular buildings filled with standing blocks, perhaps used to support wooden floors, otherwise unknown. These two buildings are generally not shown on site layouts, but the photographs are included here.
