The Library of Pantainos site looking towards the ancient agora.

Subject

Library of Pantainos (Athens, Greece)--Pictorial works.

Description

This is how the site of the Library of Pantainos looks today from Pikilis Street.

Between the trees can be seen part of the Herulian Wall, created from the spoila of the ruined buildings after the Heruli broke through the empire's defenses and sacked Athens in 267 AD. Part of the wall completely covers the library's east stoa.
