The Aiakeion was a sanctuary of Aiakos built in Athens in the early fifth century BC, which is identified with the Rectangular Peribolos in the southwestern corner of the Agora. In 374/3 BC it was converted to a granary. It was damaged in the Sullan Sack in 86 BC and in the Imperial period it was a pottery workshop.
