Forum of Philippopolis

The civic heart of Roman Philippopolis: a public square begun under Emperor Vespasian in the 1st century and completed in the 2nd, covering about 11 hectares. Ringed by shops, the city council's Odeon and other public buildings, it was the focal point of the ancient street grid, near today's central post office.
