"Also known as Ancient Agora. Its construction started at the end of the 2nd century A.D. on the site of an older forum dating to early Imperial times.
It was discovered only recently, during archaeological excavations in 1966.
You can walk around the whole area on the outside and see it for free from above.
You should be able to access the Forum after buying a ticket and there should also be a museum underground, however, online reviews say that the site is not actually opened and the museum wasn't worth the 8 euros the ticket costs anyway. When we visited (July 2023), the site also looked closed so we only saw the Forum from above.
Note: the outside area is not shaded at all so try to come early in the day/later in the evening if you are visiting in the summer as it gets very hot. "

"This is the location where Paul's co-laborer Jason was brought before the city officials (Acts 17:5-7). The museum below the street level highlights the history of the city in modern times. Parking is available on the south side. Parking passes can be purchased at the store on the southeast corner of the forum. "
