Roman Agora

The Roman Agora of Athens was the commercial center during the Roman period, built in the 1st century BC. It features the impressive Gate of Athena Archegetis and the Tower of the Winds, an ancient timekeeping structure. The site offers visitors an opportunity to explore the remnants of ancient market stalls and shops, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the Roman era. The Roman Agora is less crowded than its more famous counterpart, the Ancient Agora, but equally rich in history.
