Ρωμαϊκή Αγορά
Ρωμαϊκή Αγορά stands in Greece as a Roman forum arranged across two broad, stone-paved terraces. Two-storey stoas once sheltered shops, conversations and movement through the square. From the late second century into the early Byzantine period, this complex served social, economic and administrative life.
Excavation revealed an odeon, a small semicircular theatre and a bathing complex beside the paved square. The theatre also hosted gladiatorial spectacles. One Roman bath is fully excavated, while another remains beneath the modern city. Construction work in the 1960s exposed the ruins, and plans for a courthouse were abandoned to preserve them.
A purpose-built underground hall now protects delicate structures and displays finds in situ. Look for fragments of colonnades, paving, vaults and bathing rooms beneath the surrounding city.
