Ancient Agora of Athens

We did not take the time to enter the Roman Agora or Hadrian's Library in Athens because we wanted to leave plenty of time to appreciate the Ancient Agora of Athens.

The Temple of Hephaestus is a highlight of the Ancient Agora of Athens.

In some ways, I was more impressed by the Temple of Hephaestus than I was by the Parthenon, probably because there was no scaffolding on the Temple of Hephaestus, there were very few other people in the area at the time, and we could get very close to the Temple of Hephaestus.

Speaking of the Parthenon, there are some great views of the Acropolis from the Ancient Agora.

There are also nice interior views of the Ancient Agora and its a scenic place to walk around.

The Church of the Holy Apostles in Ancient Agora is an old and beautiful restored structure.

The Agora of Athens Museum is an interesting structure in which some of the artifacts are in open areas on two floors and other, smaller artifacts are in a long, narrow section that runs along the inside.

The next two photographs show a stairwell from the second floor down to the first floor of the museum.

The Ancient Agora of Athens features interesting historial architecture and artifacts along with beautiful natural and city views.
