Your experience
Explore the Roman Agora, Athens’ lively marketplace of the past, with a multilingual audio guide that brings to life stories of traders, travelers, and scholars who once gathered beneath its grand marble gate and iconic Tower of the Winds.
Getting started
You’ll receive your ticket by email—just download the app and audio guide onto your smartphone before your visit. With offline access to narration, maps, and images, you can simply arrive at the entrance of the Roman Agora, put on your headphones, and begin your self-paced journey into the daily rhythms of ancient Athens.
Athena’s grand gateway
Start at the striking Gate of Athena Archegetis, a marble entrance gifted to the city by Julius Caesar and Augustus. Once the main gateway into the Roman marketplace, its towering Doric columns symbolized prosperity under Roman rule. As your guide narrates, imagine merchants, philosophers, and citizens streaming through this very gate, their voices carrying through the heart of the Agora.
Timekeepers of the ancient world
Next, head to the octagonal Tower of the Winds, one of antiquity’s first ‘clocks’—a structure that combined sundials, a water clock, and sculpted reliefs of the eight wind gods. Your audio guide explains how Athenians looked to the tower not just for the time of day but for direction, weather, and a sense of cosmic order, an early blend of science and myth.
Markets, fountains, and everyday stories
Wander past the fountain house that supplied water to the bustling market and the Vespasianae, public latrines that reveal the Romans’ practical approach to civic life. Peer into the remains of ancient shops, where goods and gossip alike were traded. Through vivid anecdotes, your audio tour paints a picture of a marketplace that was as much a social center as it was a commercial hub.
Layers of history and Acropolis views
Your visit ends at the 15th-century Mosque of the Conqueror, built during the Ottoman era atop the ruins of the Roman marketplace. Once a place of worship and later repurposed as a museum and storage hall, it reflects the many cultures that have shaped Athens. With the Acropolis rising above, the site brings together Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman legacies in one remarkable setting.
