Attalus II, the king of Pergamum (159-138 BC), gave this Stoa to the Athenian people as a gift in return for the education he had received at Athens. It consisted of two stories and behind the double colonnades was an enclosed area housing 21 shops on each story. The Stoa we visited is a modern reconstruction (1953-56) and now houses the Agora Museum rather than shops.
