Forum of Philippopolis, Roman forum in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
The Forum of Philippopolis extends across 20 decares in central Plovdiv, featuring a rectangular layout measuring 143 meters north-south and 136 meters east-west.
The construction of this Roman complex occurred in four distinct phases between the 1st and 2nd centuries, incorporating architectural elements from Doric to Corinthian styles.
The forum contained an Odeon, library, and multiple public buildings that served as centers for administrative decisions, cultural events, and religious ceremonies.
Three entrances along the eastern, southern, and western edges connect to the main streets of ancient Philippopolis, with preserved drainage systems beneath the structure.
Archaeological excavations revealed inscriptions about gladiator performances and an altar dedicated to the deities Demeter and Kore near the northern section.
