Stoa of Attalos - Columns for Days! 

Did you know the Stoa of Attalos was built between 159 BC - 138 BC. The impressive columns measured over 116 m long and 20 m deep, with two rows of 45 columns.  It was used to house shops and businesses for the Athenians.  Some say it was the first ancient shopping centre! - SeenByNina
