South Stoa I (of Athens)

South Stoa I (of Athens)

The South Stoa I of Athens, which was a hotel-like building, was located on the south side of the Agora, in Athens, Greece, between the "Heliaia" and the "Enneakrounos", southeastern fountain houses. It was built around 425 BC-400 BC (during the Classical Era). The stoa was in use until circa 150 BC, when it was replaced by South Stoa II (of Athens).

Archaeologists also theorize that the stoa may have had a second story. The two-aisled stoa opened north, with a Doric outer colonnade, an inner colonnade of unknown order and sixteen rooms which lined the southern wall. Of the sixteen rooms, one narrow room must have served as a vestibule, while the other fifteen square rooms were probably used for public dinning. The rooms were probably outfitted for city magistrates fed at public expense.
