The stoa leads off north-east from the main sanctuary.
It was built in the Ionic order and consists of seven fluted columns, unusually carved from single pieces of stone (most columns were constructed from a series of discs joined together).
The inscription on the stylobate indicates that it was built by the Athenians after their naval victory over the Persians in 478 BC, to house their war trophies.
The stoa was attached to the existing Polygonal Wall.
