# Ancient Agora of Athens

Athens, Greece

The civic and commercial heart of ancient Athens below the Acropolis, a marketplace and meeting ground from the 6th century BCE. Here democracy took shape and Socrates taught, and the site still holds the well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus and the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos.
