The city has been built with modern anti-seismic standards after it was levelled an earthquake in 1858. The Cathedral of Apostle Paul is placed near the city center. At the east of our city, near the ends of Corinth Canal which has been built in 1881, there are two submersible bridges. Corinth has easy access to Athens, Greece’s capital, either by highway or by suburban railway. The symbol of the city,Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, stands in the main square. There are numerous squares where the young and old can please themselves and many sidewalks have been created which makes our strolls easier! Various buildings - some older and some newer - adorn the city.
