A visit to Ancient Agora is a must for those exploring the historical sites of Athens, since it was the heart of the city in ancient times and was also an integral part of the city’s cultural beginnings. Once a market place and civic center, the Ancient Agora was the commercial, social and political center in the past. The ancient Greek democracy can actually be traced back to this area. Today, the site is home to a number of interesting monuments, temples and a fascinating museum. While many of the buildings lay in ruins, the Temple of Hephaistos; built in the 5th century BC and the Stoa of Attalos, a shopping center in the past, are the only two buildings standing at this site. The Temple of Hephaistos is the best preserved temple in Greece and the Stoa of Attalos now houses the Agora Museum, which is where visitors will find numerous artifacts found at the archeological site of the Ancient Agora.
