About
For centuries the Agora was the city's marketplace, law court and meeting ground. The Temple of Hephaestus on its western edge is one of the best-preserved Greek temples anywhere, and the Stoa of Attalos, rebuilt in the 1950s, houses a museum of everyday finds, from voting tokens to pottery.
Best time to go: Go in the morning, starting at the Temple of Hephaestus, then shelter in the Stoa of Attalos museum.
