In ancient Greece, the typical house was built around a central courtyard, known as the 'agora'. The house would usually be made of mud-brick, with a tiled roof, and have small windows to let in light. The rooms were often small and sparse, with minimal furniture. There would be separate living quarters for men and women, with the women's quarters typically located in the back of the house. The kitchen would be located near the entrance, and would often have a hearth for cooking. Wealthier Greeks may have had larger houses with more rooms and decorations, such as frescoes and mosaics.
