Tourist Guide

A shopping mall from 138 BC. The Stoa of Attalos (Ancient Agora) was built in 138 BC by Attalos II, King of Pergamon, as a donation to Athens. The building was the largest in length in Greece during the antiquity. The Stoa was reconstructed in the same style and shape from 1953 to 1956 by the American School of Archaeology with funding from JD. Rockefeller and now houses the Museum of Ancient Agora in Athens. #Trovember #History During the antiquity the Stoa had shops that where leased by the State of Athens. It was therefore an ancient shopping mall but also a place of sociability where citizens use to gather and discuss while sheltering from the sun during the summer and the cold in the winter. #Perspectives #Culture
