About this experience
The Acropolis was the religious center of Ancient Greece, while the Agora was the commercial and social center. It was here that citizens gathered to discuss the pressing issues of Athens. This was also where the marketplaces, courts, and municipal buildings were located. You will see what remains of them and decipher the basic tenets of ancient Greek philosophy, religion, and democracy.
