Welcome to Corinth

Our first stop Agora~ Forum or Marketplace The Bema ~ Platform for Public Addresses The Fountain of Peirene Lechaion Road Theater at Corinth The Temple of Apollo: One of the Greek buildings which the Roman colonists restored for their use was the Archaic Temple, possibly the most imposing piece of architecture of Hellenistic Corinth. It had been built in the mid sixth century B.C.E., probably as a Temple of Apollo, to replace an even earlier temple on the same spot. Probably the shrine was once brightly painted but the weather wore away its colors. Its use in the Roman period is not known.

The Acrocorinth: Corinth was surrounded by a six-mile-long wall, except where the Acrocorinth was. On this mountain stood a temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, whom the Corinthians credited for bringing wealth to their city.
