fifteen years later, gave the first blows with a golden mattock. Paul must have been greatly
impressed, not only by its artistic beauty but also because the date of its construction coincided with
the destruction of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem by the King of Babylon. Paul spent two years
with the Corinthians, leaving among them one of the most flourishing Christian communities he
founded. Continue to the famous Corinth Canal, a Roman work of the first century to connect the

astonished by the luxurious buildings, Paul mingled with the people and ascended to the Acropolis,
where he finally discovered the wonder of the Temple to the Patron of Athens. It is presumed that
he did not enter the Temple and left the sacred site head down and thoughtful, sure that “his spirit
was consumed seeing the city full of idols” (Acts 17:16). We will visit the ACROPOLIS. This hill,
fortified during the Minoan period, was transformed into a sanctuary around the 5th century BC,
