The Stoa
The Stoa of Attalos (also spelled Attalus) was a stoa (covered walkway or portico) in the Agora of 
Athens, Greece. It was built by and named after King Attalos II of Pergamon, who ruled between 159 BC and 138 BC. The current building was reconstructed in 1952–1956 by American architects along with the Greek architect Ioannis Travlos and the Greek Civil Engineer Yeoryios Biris.
A stoa in ancient Greek architecture, is a covered walkway or portico, commonly for public use. Early stoas were open at the entrance with columns, usually of the Doric order, lining the s
ide of the building; they created a safe, enveloping, protective atmosphere.
Later examples were built as two stories and incorporated inner colonnades usually in the Ionic style, where shops or sometimes offices were located. These buildings were open to the public; merchants could sell their goods, artists could display their artwork, and religious gatherings could take place. Stoas usually surrounded the marketplaces or agora of large cities and were used as a framing device.
The name of the Stoic school of philosophy derives from “stoa”.
