Former Medrese in the Ancient Roman Agora, Listed archaeological site in Athens, Greece

The Roman Agora features stone ruins, ancient columns, and architectural elements spread across an extensive archaeological complex near the Acropolis of Athens.

The Roman Agora, constructed between 27 BC and 17 BC under Augustus, replaced an older marketplace and incorporated structures from different historical periods.

The site contains the remains of a medrese, reflecting the educational institutions that existed during the Ottoman period in Athens.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through the main entrance on Adrianou Street, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The Gate of Athena Archegetis displays four Doric columns and preserves an inscription detailing ancient regulations for oil merchants.
