This is one of the most important buildings of the acropolis. We associate this famous hill with the place where Paul spoke in Athens. In fact, the tribunal of ancient Athens originally met on this hill and gave it the name.
Many scholars believe that the court was meeting in the agora at the time of Paul.
This is one of the burial masks now displayed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. This canal which cuts across the five mile wide isthmus of Greece was constructed between 1881 and 1893. In the first century boats were pulled across the isthmus on a road call the diolkos. From this harbor Phoebe likely carried the letter to the saints at Rome. There are not many ruins at Cenchrea but the harbor is still there.
