The East Stoa in Cyrene, located in the Jabal al Akhdar region of Libya, is a Roman-era public building constructed around the 2nd century CE. As a stoa—a covered portico characteristic of Mediterranean civic architecture—it served as a gathering space within the ancient city's urban center. Built during the Roman period, the structure reflects the architectural traditions and urban planning practices of the classical world adapted to this North African Greek city.
