The State Agora of Side is an ancient Roman marketplace and public square, once used for official and ceremonial purposes. Located near the Roman Theatre, it dates back to the 2nd century AD and was surrounded by colonnades, administrative buildings, and temples. The agora likely housed a temple dedicated to Tyche (the goddess of fortune) and possibly a library. Though partly in ruins, the layout and remains offer a clear glimpse into the public and political life of Roman Side.
