We need a bit of sunshine on this wet and stormy day, so here's the west wall and colonnade of Hadrian's Library in Athens. Didn't manage to get inside due to its eclectic opening hours, but you can see a lot from the street.

The hippodrome is approximately 300–315 m (around 1,000–1,033 ft) long and about 50–68 m (164–223 ft) wide. It seated roughly 10,000–12,000 spectators (with later expansions or estimates scaling up to 15,000–20,000).
