The Clock of Andronicus Kyrristus, constructed in the 1st century BC, was a hydraulic clock . On each face of the clock can be seen bas-reliefs of the eight winds.
This historical beauty is situated right under the Acropolis behind Monastiraki. The entire scenery surrounding the Tower is so magical that for a moment you may feel as if you were in Ancient times!!
Octagonal marble clocktower built around 51BC. One of the best preserved buildings in the agora.
The frieze which represents the winds and their personalities is the most interesting part of the building and deserves a closer look.
The great grandfather of all clock towers and weather stations!
Impressive!
Part of the Roman agora , very nice
Only thing that stands out of the Roman Agora site
Yürürken karşınıza çıkması ve böyle bir manzara ile karşılaşmak çok güzel. 08:00-18:00 arası açık ancak 15 dakika kala ziyaretçileri geri çeviriyorlar.
Στα χρόνια του Όθωνα,εδώ ήταν το διοικητικό κέντρο της πόλης,η αγορά και εδώ στρατωνίζονταν τα βαυαρικά στρατεύματα.
Στους πρόποδες της Ακρόπολης, δίπλα στην οδό Τριποδων. Ένα σημείο που δεν πρέπει να παραλείψεις να επισκεφτείς.
