In the heart of Athens, nestled within the vibrant Plaka district, lies a site that has borne witness to the ebb and flow of empires—the Roman Agora.

An agora (city square) has been discovered during the excavations in the 2,700-year-old ancient city of Aigai in the western province of Manisa.

Excavations have resumed at the 20,000-person Smyrna Theater, located on the outskirts of Kadifekale in the western province of İzmir's Konak district.
