The South Stoa I of Athens was located on the south side of the Agora, in Athens, Greece, between the Heliaia and the Enneakrounos, southeastern fountainhouses. It was built around 425 BC - 400 BC (during the Classical Era). The stoa was in use until circa 150 BC, when it was replaced by South Stoa II (of Athens). Archaeologists also theorise that the stoa may have had a second story.
The two-aisled stoa opened north, with a Doric outer colonnade, an inner (unknown order) colonnade of and sixteen rooms which lined the southern wall. Of the sixteen rooms, one narrow room served as a place of relaxation, while the other fifteen square rooms were used for dinning. The rooms were apparently outfitted for city officials who were fed at public expense.
