Ancient agora of Kos, Archaeological site in Kos Town, Greece.
The Ancient Agora extends over 12,464 square meters, containing three main arcades that form a large outdoor courtyard connected to the city walls.
Following the 1933 earthquake, the Italian Archaeological School initiated excavations, revealing structures dating from the 4th century BC through Roman times.
The site includes remnants of sanctuaries dedicated to Aphrodite and Hercules, plus sections of ancient housing blocks built according to the Hippodamian plan.
The archaeological area remains open throughout the day, with access through the street of bars, making evening visits particularly convenient.
Multiple construction phases showcase different building materials, from early limestone structures to later monumental marble additions from the 2nd century BC.
