ANCIENT AGORA


The Ancient Agora, located below the famed Acropolis was the heart of Athens and served as the site of religious and social activities. Most importantly however it acted as the center of democracy and political affairs. It's formation began in 600 B.C. and continued until around 200 A.D. Today it still stands in it's former glory as a giant open air museum full of gardens, fountains, ruins and the impressive Temple of Hephaistos, built in 500 B.C. and still standing in pristine condition over 2500 years later.
