Areopagus, Ancient judicial rock formation near Acropolis, Athens, Greece
The marble hill rises 115 meters above sea level with carved stone steps leading to a flat platform overlooking the entire city of Athens.
The Areopagus functioned as Athens' first criminal court from the 7th century BC, where the council met to judge cases of homicide and religious matters.
The hill gained prominence in 51 AD when Apostle Paul delivered his sermon about the unknown god to the Athenian philosophers and citizens.
Metal stairs attached to the rock make it possible to reach the summit, which provides a complete view of the Acropolis and the Agora.
The stone surface contains rectangular cuttings that indicate the presence of buildings and altar foundations from the Classical period of Ancient Greece.
