Ionic Stoa in Miletus

Ionic stoa is the name used to designate an ancient stoa, or room with columns, of the city of Miletus, in Asia Minor, in present-day Turkey.

It was built during the Roman period of the Flavian dynasty, between the years 69-96 AD, and was modified again under the emperor Trajan between the years 98-117 AD. It was located in the center of Miletus, on the eastern side of the so-called "Holy Way" that led from the city to Dídima, and was built in front of the thermal baths of Capito and the gymnasium of Eudemus.

It thus formed the eastern column of the Holy Way, where the western column was connected to the northern agora of the city.

It was about 100 m long and about 14 m deep. It was of ionized style, from which it takes its present name, and it is estimated that it had 35 columns on its side façade. It was built on a relatively high seven-level crepidome. Behind it were 19 rooms in a row.

A small part of the stove, including four Ionic columns and a wall, has been restored to its original location.
