The political, commercial, and philosophical heart of ancient classical Athens, spread beneath the north-western slopes of the Acropolis. Here Socrates debated and democratic assemblies gathered. The site is anchored by the remarkably well-preserved 5th-century BC Temple of Hephaestus, standing virtually intact, and the reconstructed two-storey Stoa of Attalos housing the Museum of the Ancient Agora.
