Here, on an area reaching 30 meters wide and 230 meters long, gladiator fights, athletics competitions, as well as races were often held on chariots. On the slopes of Peron there were places for spectators. During the Christian period, stones that once served as seats for spectators were used by locals to build the city walls of Ayasuluk.
