The Areopagus is a prominent rock formation located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Historically, it served as a meeting place for the council of elders, known as the Areopagus Council, which played a significant role in the governance and legal matters of ancient Athens. The site is named after the Greek god of war, Ares, and was associated with various myths and legends. In addition to its political significance, the Areopagus is also known for its philosophical importance. It is famously mentioned in the New Testament when the Apostle Paul delivered a speech there, discussing the concept of the unknown god to the Athenian philosophers. Today, the site remains a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the city.
