Reconstruction is an action that re-builds a ruin or a non-existing structure trying to reproduce its form and shape at a given momentof its past. Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage monuments used to be common practice during the 19th and 20th centuries. However,contemporary ways of thinking and approaching the issue of reviving the past have introduced a lot of scepticism as far asreconstructions are concerned. An attractive alternative is virtual reconstruction, which does not involve any intervention to theexisting relics, while it offers all advantages to the curator. In this paper the virtual reconstruction of a non-existing building of theAthenian Agora is described, presented and visualized. All data collected were evaluated and used appropriately for the finalproduct. It is evident that, on one hand, the data collected do not all belong to the target period and, on the other, not all the datanecessary to built up the model are available today. Therefore, one needs to carefully select the data corresponding to the period ofstudy and complete them with suitable hypotheses. It is imperative that both tasks must be done in collaboration of the archaeologistsand architects responsible for the monument. In this context a hierarchy of the data was developed, based on their reliability as far astheir “correctness” is concerned. The data were categorized for their reliability after careful evaluation. The accuracy of the datadepends on the source; hence the data which originate from a drawing or from one study of the 3D reconstructed monument areconsidered more accurate than data which come from a source referring to architectural elements of other monuments or writtenreports of travelers. Sometimes the data appear in more than one source, in this case they must be checked for their reliability. Incases of remaining artifacts that could be found in the museum and belonged to the building a different approach was followed. Theywere used to produce 3D models and these were later attached to the final 3D model. From the final virtual reconstruction a shortvideo has also been produced for the better visualization of the result
