Athenian Agora

The Athenian Agora is the ruins of the once market place of Athens. It lies to the west side of the Acropolis. It was the “heart” of the city. The word “agoraphobia” comes from Agora.

This is the church of the Holy Apostles. It lies in the Agora ruins. It was constructed around 1000 A.D. It was surrounded by trees and I found it difficult to take one picture that showed the entire building. It was the best preserved building aside from the museum in the Agora ruins.

These are some statues outside the museum of Agora. We didn’t have time to go inside. I can only imagine what was inside if these were outside!

Yes, I know the pictures are sideways! Can't fix them right now. Computer is jet-lagged. (:
