Ancient Agora of Athens, Archaeological site in Monastiraki, Greece
The Ancient Agora stretches across a large area at the foot of the Acropolis, containing ruins of administrative buildings, temples, and market structures.
From the 6th century BCE until the Roman period, this central marketplace developed from residential buildings into a center of Athenian democracy and commerce.
The Temple of Hephaestus and the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos house numerous artifacts, including sculptures, pottery, and items from daily life in ancient Athens.
The site opens daily from 8 AM to 5 PM in winter and 8 AM to 7:30 PM in summer, with access through Monastiraki or Thissio metro stations.
The marble sculptures found at the site reveal information about ancient Greek craftsmanship, including workshop techniques and tool marks from the 5th century BCE.
