When Apostle Paul arrived in Athens, he visited the Agora and engaged in discussions with many philosophers about Christianity.
-
Areopagus - The Areopagus of Athens, also known as Mars Hill, is situated just northwest of the Acropolis. Essentially, it is a small marble hill where people gathered. During the Classical period, it served as a venue for judicial tribunals concerning major crimes. When Paul was in Athens, the Areopagus had also become a favored spot for discussing and debating ideas. The council of the Areopagus consisted of 100 members, including philosophers, scholars, and former officials of Athens.
-
Agios Dionysios Areopagitis Church - The Church of Saint Dionysius The Areopagite in Athens is located on the prestigious Skoufa Street in the Kolonaki district. It is dedicated to the patron saint of Athens, Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, who was converted to Christianity by Apostle Paul and became the city’s first bishop.
-
Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a man-made canal in Greece that links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, effectively making the peninsula an island. The canal was excavated at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 km (4 miles) long and only 24.6 m (80.7 feet) wide at sea level, rendering it impassable for many modern ships.
-
Ancient Port of Kenchreai - Kechrees was the eastern port of Corinth, located 70 stadia from the city, and reached its peak during the period when Corinth was a Roman Colonia. It was always the commercial port of Corinth, formed from a natural bay, with the first technical works believed to date back to the archaic period. According to Acts 15:18, Apostle Paul departed Greece from the port of Kechries during his second missionary journey at the end of 51 or early 52 AD.
-
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Apostle Paul first visited the city in AD 49 or 50, when Gallio, the brother of Seneca, was proconsul of Achaia. Paul stayed here for eighteen months (see Acts 18:11). Here, he first met Priscilla and Aquila, with whom he later traveled. They worked together as tentmakers and regularly attended the synagogue. Paul wrote at least two epistles to the Christian church in the city.
-
Archaeological Museum of Corinth - The Museum of Ancient Corinth was constructed in 1932 to house the numerous artifacts uncovered by archaeological excavations. Its construction was managed by the American School of Classical Studies, thanks to a donation from Ada Small Moore.
-
Acrocorinth - The initial fortification on the Acrocorinth dates back to the late 7th-early 6th century B.C., during the era of the Kypselid tyrants. Some extensive classical masonry dates to the 4th century B.C. From 338 B.C., Acrocorinth came under Macedonian control, who were later expelled by Aratos, making the city a member of the Achaean League. After the destruction by L. Mommius (146 B.C.), the wall was reconstructed using the same ancient materials by Julius Caesar (44 B.C.). The first Christian phase incorporated into the classical wall belonged to the time of Justinian (6th century). The early and middle Byzantine periods saw the reconstruction and addition of new fortifications (7th – 12th century).
