Ancient Agora of Athens Site & Museum Skip-the-Line Ticket
Overview of the tour in Athens
The site includes:
The Temple of Hephaestus – On top of Agoraios Kolonos hill, stands the temple of Hephaestus, broadly known as Thisio. It is one of the best preserved ancient temples, partly because it was transformed into a Christian church. According to the traveler and geographer Pausanias (1, 14, 5-6), two deities were jointly worshipped in the temple: god Hephaestus, protector of all metallurgists, and goddess Athena Ergani, protecting all potters and the cottage industries.
The Church of the Holy Apostles of Solakis was built shortly before 1000 AD. and was partially based on a Nymphaeum of the 2nd c. A.D. It was the center of a Byzantine quarter that developed in the area. The original floor plan of the temple was cruciform inscribed, with arches on the four sides and a narthex on the west side. The dome was supported by four columns.
The Museum of the Ancient Agora is housed in the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos, originally erected during the 2nd cent. BC as a gift of the king of Pergamon, Attalos II, to Athens.
