The Agora of Smyrna, also known as the Agora of İzmir, is an ancient agora in the Konak district of present-day İzmir, originally built by the Greeks in the 4th century BC and serving as the state agora of Smyrna. After an earthquake destroyed it in 178 AD, Emperor Marcus Aurelius ordered its reconstruction. Excavations began in 1933, and in 2020 the site was added to the UNESCO Tentative World Heritage list as part of "The Historical Port City of Izmir."
