Stoa of Eumenes, Hellenistic colonnade at the Acropolis of Athens, Greece
The Stoa of Eumenes extends 163 meters in length along the southern slope of the Acropolis, featuring a double-story structure with 64 Doric columns.
King Eumenes II of Pergamon commissioned this grand colonnade around 160 BCE, creating a sheltered walkway between the Theater of Dionysus and Odeon of Herodes Atticus.
The stoa functioned as a gathering space where ancient Athenians sought shelter during theater performances and conducted daily commercial activities.
Visitors can examine the preserved northern wall, made from breccia and limestone and faced with Hymettian and Pentelic marble, along with numerous ground floor pillars.
The upper level displayed rare Pergamene order capitals, while architectural elements were manufactured in Pergamon and transported to Athens for assembly.
