The Roman Agora is located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Athens, Plaka. Plaka lies under the Acropolis and it is one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city. Its main characteristics are the neoclassical buildings and the labyrinthine streets. Plaka is built on top of the residential area of ancient Athens. Today it is home to many restaurants, stores, bars and cafes.

The most famous building of the Roman Agora is the Tower of the Winds. It is an octagonal clocktower made from Pentelic marble. It features a combination of sundials, a water clock and a wind vane. The exact date of its construction is not known: Presumably it was built around 50BC or even earlier in the 2nd century BC. The Roman Agora has still not been fully excavated.
