Ancient Corinth - Agora

From the Fountain of Peirene, a shallow flight of steps leads up to the north propylon of the Agora, a large area (255m/837ft by 127m/417ft) surrounded by colonnades which was the hub of the city's political and economic life. At the lower east end the paving of the Greek period has been preserved, but otherwise the remains are almost entirely Roman. Along the south side runs the South Stoa, 165m/541ft long, with 33 shops.
