Although the city was destroyed by Romans,The ancient city was destroyed by the Romans, who built a new city in its place; we can still see the extensive ruins (including the columns of the Temple of Apollo) that testify to Corinth’s great prosperity. It is also one of the places that Saint Paul visited and wrote letters to. As we cross the Isthmus, we stop to see the great feat of engineering that finally opened the route between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal.
