Stoa of Attalos, Ancient Greek portico in Ancient Agora, Greece.
The Stoa of Attalos extends 116 meters with double colonnades on two levels, featuring Doric columns on the exterior ground floor and Ionic columns inside.
King Attalos II of Pergamon commissioned this monumental structure between 159 BCE and 138 BCE as a gift to Athens for his education under philosopher Carneades.
The building functioned as both a marketplace and a social gathering space where ancient Athenian citizens conducted business and engaged in philosophical discussions.
The Museum of Ancient Agora operates within the reconstructed Stoa, displaying artifacts from the 7th to 5th centuries BCE, including sculptures, coins, and pottery.
The American School of Classical Studies rebuilt the entire structure between 1952 and 1956 using marble from the original ancient quarries of Piraeus.
