Why go

The Temple of Hephaestus and reconstructed Stoa of Attalos give two very different perspectives on public life around the ancient square. Follow the paths between them to understand the scale of the civic centre. The archaeological ground is exposed, so plan the outdoor portion before the hottest part of a summer day.

What to look for

Link the Temple of Hephaestus with exhibits in the Stoa of Attalos.

Useful to know

Wear shoes suited to uneven paths; pair the open site with the Stoa of Attalos collection only after checking its current access.
