• Smyrna

  Now the city of Izmir, the
  third largest in Turkey, Smyrna still offers view
  of a well-preserved Roman Agora (market) where undoubtedly both the disciple
  John and the apostle Paul visited.
  

  Here I am in the lower floor of the Agora.
  

  Above ground.
  

  Above the city of Smyrna
  was a fortress, mostly Byzantine but which was begun during or soon after the
  time of Alexander the Great. Here’s Amy and me inside the Kadifekale.
