Did you know?
In the historic Jewish quarter of Barbuta in Veria, the neighborhood was once protected by gates.
These gates were closed at night, creating a safe and close-knit community for the Jewish residents.
Access to the area was controlled, not to exclude others completely, but to preserve security, faith, and daily life traditions.
📖 It was in this very city that Apostle Paul preached in the synagogue, as described in Acts 17 , where the Bereans were known for examining the Scriptures daily.
🏛️ Today, the area still carries the echoes of this rich history.
Walk through Veria… and step into the past.
