Stoa of Attalos
Made by Santi RF
The Stoa of Attalos is recognised as one of the most impressive stoæ in the Athenian Agora. It was built by and named after King Attalos II of Pergamon who ruled between 159 BC and 138 BC. Typical of the Hellenistic age, the stoa was more elaborate and larger than the earlier buildings of ancient Athens. The stoa's dimensions are 115 by 20 metres wide and it is made of Pentelic marble and limestone. The stoa was in frequent use until it was destroyed by the Heruli in 267. The ruins became part of a fortification wall, which made it easily seen in modern times. In the 1950s, the Stoa of Attalos was fully reconstructed and made into the Ancient Agora Museum, with funding donated by the Rockefeller family. The building is particularly important in the study of ancient monuments because the reconstruction of 1952 - 1956 faithfully replicates the original building.


ATHENS, GREECE
Made by Thanassis Fournarakos
The Church of the Holy Apostles, also known as Holy Apostles of Solaki, is found in the Ancient Agora, and can be dated to around the late 10th century. The church is particularly significant as the only monument in the Agora, other than the Temple of Hephaestus, to survive intact since its foundation, and for its architecture: it was the first significant church of the middle Byzantine period in Athens, and marks the beginning of the so-called Athenian type, successfully combining the simple four-pier with the cross-in-square forms.


Ancient Agora / Старата агора
Made by mitko_denev
The Agora was an open place of assembly in an ancient Greek city-state. The one in Athens is the most famous example of agora. Агората е място в древногръцките градове-държави, където хората се събирали да обсъждат важни дела. Атинската Агора е най-известния пример.
