The so-called Theatre Gymnasium was constructed in ca. A.D. 125 to the northwest of the Theatre. The complex, with overall dimensions greater than 12,000 m2, conforms to the Ephesian type of bath-gymnasium complexes. U-shaped recreation & lobby halls surrounded the bathing rooms in the north of the building. The open courtyard (palaestra) to the south, with a tribune that had four rows of stepped seats, served both for physical training as well as mental activities.
