History
A square sacred enclosure in the northwest corner of the Agora, in front of the Stoa Basileios at the meeting point of the west road and the Panathenaic Way. It was built ca. 430 BC around a sacred rock. It was gradually obscured by the rising ground levels and built over in the 3rd century AD.
