For thousands of years, marketplaces have been the beating heart of civilization — places where people not only traded goods, but also exchanged ideas, cultures, and innovations. Some of these ancient hubs of commerce still exist today, buried beneath layers of cities or preserved as archaeological sites that reveal the earliest forms of organized trade. From Mesopotamian bazaars where merchants sold grains and spices, to Greek agoras bustling with philosophers and craftsmen, these markets tell the story of humanity’s first economies and social networks. Here are the 15 oldest marketplaces ever found, each one a testament to how trade helped shape the modern world.
