The ruins of the ancient Agora lie in the heart of ancient Athens.This was the social, commercial and, first of all, political centre of Athens, the place where democracy was born and reached its highest point of development. It was the most vibrant place of the city hosting all major public buildings, stoas, where the famous philosophers taught, and numerous stores and vendors. It was also a place where the local citizens spent their free time meeting their friends and talking about politics. Now the Agora is not only just an archaeological site but also an archaeological park with the most typical species of the greek flora between the ancient ruins.
