HERE IS YOUR ANSWER...

**************************************************

Stoa, plural Stoae, in Greek architecture, a freestanding colonnade or covered walkway; also, a long open building, its roof supported by one or more rows of columns parallel to the rear wall. The Stoa of Attalus at Athens is a prime example.

Stoae surrounded marketplaces and sanctuaries and formed places of business and public promenade. Rooms might back onto the colonnade, and a second story was sometimes added.

QUESTION:-

What type of a building is a stoa?

ANSWER:-

  • Stoa in Greek architecture is a free-standing, long, narrow collonaded facade or a covered walkway which is an open building with its roof supported by one or more rows of columns which are parallel to the rear wall.

  • An excellent example of a Stoa is The Stoa of Attalus at Athens.

  • Stoa is surrounded by places for marketing and gardens and constructed places of business and public galleries. Rooms support the colonnade, and a next story was occasionally added.

  • The stoa was developed as an architectural aspect in Archaic Greece which was greatly popular from the fifth through first centuries BCE.

  • The Stoa is to be differentiated from the collonaded boulevards particular of late Hellenistic and Roman cities and the Roman porticos.
