Stoa of the Athenians, Ancient portico in sanctuary, Delphi, Greece
The Stoa of the Athenians extends 26.5 meters in length and features seven Ionic columns made of Pentelic marble with bases crafted from Paros marble.
Following naval victories against the Persians at Mykale and Sestos in 478 BC, Athens constructed this structure to display war spoils and demonstrate their military achievements.
The structure contains six hundred manumission inscriptions on its polygonal wall, documenting the practice of freeing slaves through symbolic sales to Apollo.
Located south of the Temple of Apollo, the structure stands on a three-stepped platform, with three restored columns remaining visible within the archaeological complex.
The distance between columns in this one-aisled structure allows natural light to penetrate the interior space, which originally featured a wooden roof construction.
