The Roman Agora

The Roman Agora, a market constructed in the 1st century BC during the rule of Julius and Augustus Caesar, is just a few steps away from the ancient Agora of Athens. It originally consisted of a large, open-air courtyard surrounded by colonnades on all sides. The most prominent remains today are:
1. The Tower of Winds, considered to be the world’s first meteorogical center with its sundial, water clock and wind vane
2. The Gate of Athena Archegetis
3. The East Propylon, the eastern entrance to the Agora
4. The Fethiye mosque, an Ottoman mosque that was built on the site in the 17th century.
