The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. It is 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 meters (70 ft.) wide at its base, making it impassable for most modern ships. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. For Christians, Corinth is well-known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Treatment of the Bible. Acrocorinth was the acropolis of ancient Corinth and it is the oldest, largest and most impressive castle in the Peloponnese.
