The Roman Agora of Athens, built in the 1st century BC with support from Julius Caesar and Augustus, was a bustling hub of commerce and public life, replacing the earlier Athenian Agora as the city's primary trading area. Visitors enter through the monumental Gate of Athena Archegetis, a Doric-style gateway dedicated to the goddess Athena.
Key features include the Tower of the Winds, an octagonal clocktower with carvings of wind deities, which served as both a timekeeping device and weather station. The site also includes the Fethiye Mosque, an example of Ottoman architecture, blending Athens' Roman and later histories. The Roman Agora provides a fascinating glimpse into ancient Athenian life under Roman rule.
