| Abstract | ||
| Summery The mild climate of Greece fostered a vibrant social life, where people gathered and met outdoors. This, in turn, led to the development of public buildings, particularly the "Agora", which became the central hub of daily life in Greek cities. This article explores one of the most important public structures within the "Agora" "the Stoa". The stoa was a rectangular structure with a roof supported by columns, providing shelter from the sun and rain. They were often found flanking the courtyards of the "Agora", offering shade and protection from the wind. While their primary function was to provide a space for public gatherings and markets, they also served as entrances to other buildings and even as centers for philosophical discussions. The stoa was a significant architectural and social innovation in Ancient Greece. It provided a vital space for people to gather, learn, and exchange ideas. Its influence can still be seen today in public buildings around the world, showcasing the enduring legacy of this ancient architectural form. | ||
