Stoa of Attalos
Stoa means walkway or portico in Greek. Attalos is in Athens, in the agora, an area bounded by hills, northwest of the Acropolis. The current building was reconstructed from 1952 to 1956. The stoa's dimensions are 115 by 20 metres (377 by 66 ft) and it is made of Pentelic marble and limestone. Each story of the two stories had 21 rooms lining the western wall. Scholars walked the portico discussing their ideas and philosophies. Now the Stoa houses the Museum of the Ancient Agora. The structure at the back is the Church of the Holy Apostles.
