ROMAN MARKET - LIBRARY OF HADRIAN

The group of the Roman Market and the Library of Hadrian was constructed East of the Agora, exactly behind the Stoa of Attalos. It was the centre of the commercial activity in the roman years. In the next years until the beginning of the 19th century, the area of the Roman Market, was occupied from newer buildings and continued to have commercial use and it was known as the Bazaar of Athens.
