Roman Agora of Athens, Ancient marketplace in Plaka, Greece
The Roman Agora covers a rectangular space of 111 by 98 meters, enclosed by marble Ionic colonnades and paved central courtyard.
Emperor Augustus ordered the construction between 19 and 11 BCE, while Emperor Hadrian later expanded the complex with additional structures.
The marketplace functioned as Athens's commercial center, featuring shops, public facilities, and the Tower of Winds that served as a water clock.
The combined entrance ticket costs 30 euros and provides access to eight archaeological sites, including the Acropolis and Ancient Agora.
The Tower of Winds remains intact due to its conversion into a chapel during the sixth century, preserving its octagonal marble architecture.
