Known to Athenians as the "Kostis Palamas" building, this stunning, renovated building at the junction of Akadimias and Massalias Streets, has a long history.
The Roman Forum is located among the historic Athenian neighbourhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki, and was built during the rule of the Roman Emperor Augustus.
During the antiquity, the Ancient Agora was the administrative and trade centre of the city; it was this specific function that gave the location its name, which means "marketplace".
