Stoa of Attalus
Stoa of Attalus
It was discovered by the excavations of the Archaeological Society between 1859 and 1902. From 1953-56, it was restored and reconstructed by the American Archaeological School. In 1957, the Greek government took over the management and security of the Museum and the archaeological landscape.
The Museum of the Ancient Agora rests in the restored Stoa of Attalus. Its characteristic trait are the exhibits that have a direct relation to the function of the Democratic regime of the Athenians – given that the Agora was the heart of public life and makes for an excellent place to start oneʼs tour of the entire area of the Ancient Agora.
