Step of the Apostle Paul | Apollonia

The Apostle Paul’s Step in Apollonia is a historical site associated with the passage of the Apostle Paul through Macedonia in 49-50 AD. It is part of the route followed by the Apostle Paul and Silas from Philippi to Thessalonica, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. The area of Apollonia was then an important stop on the Via Egnatia, the main Roman road connecting East and West. The platform, the place where the Apostle Paul is said to have taught, is today a religious monument and attracts pilgrims and historical researchers.
