Colonos Agoraios, Archaeological hill in Ancient Agora, Greece
Colonos Agoraios rises above the Ancient Agora of Athens, forming a natural elevation that overlooks the surrounding archaeological remains and ancient structures.
During the classical period of Athens, this hill served as a central meeting point where craftsmen gathered to discuss their work and exchange knowledge.
The hill's location near the Temple of Hephaestus connects it to the traditions of metalworking and craftsmanship in ancient Greek society.
Visitors can access Colonos Agoraios through the main entrance of the Ancient Agora complex, which opens daily from morning until late afternoon.
Ancient texts mention this hill as a place where metal workers and sculptors established their workshops, creating a specialized industrial district.
