The Agora

The Agora was an ancient Greek marketplace and gathering space, primarily in Athens, serving as a marketplace for trading goods and a central location for political discussion, public speeches, and social activities. It was a hub where citizens met to buy and sell products, engage in debates, and participate in democratic decision-making. The Agora combined commerce, politics, and community life, reflecting the importance of active civic participation in Greek society. Today, the term "agora" is used to describe a public space for community dialogue and exchange of ideas.
