GREEK ARCCHITECTURE IN ATHENS

THE AGORA
The Agora at Athens contains other administrative buildings
There was the bouleterion for the meeting of the council
There was also a tholos, a circular building where the standing committee of
the council when in office dined at state expense
There were also two buildings for the meeting of the jury court.
And a shrine where the remains of Alexander was buried
The central area of the Agora was free of building
This image shows a reconstruction of
how social life may have taken place
in the Agora
People would be in the space of the
Agora carrying out all sorts of
activities with the Acropolis
prominent in the background and
the gods hopefully looking after them
