Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Ancient Agora of Athens, or the gathering place of classical Athens, is located northwest of the Acropolis between the hill of the Areopagus and the Agoraios Kolonos or Market Hill.

The Agora's original use was as a gathering, commercial, assembly, or residential place. In today’s Athens, the Ancient Agora of Athens is an archaeological site beneath the northwest hillside of the Acropolis. The Agora of Athens continued to be used for more than 5,000 years, with the layers of building, destruction, and rebuilding still visible at the excavation site. It is difficult to comprehend the importance of the agora in ancient Greece from the ruins of today, but two witnesses of its glory still stand today: The Temple of Hephaestus and the Stoa of Attalos.
