- 1Ahmed III Mosque
Church
The Ahmed III Mosque, also known as the Acrocorinth Mosque or the Ahmed Pasha Mosque, is an Ottoman former mosque, in a ruinous state, located in the fortress of the Acrocorinth, in the Peloponnese, Greece. Built on the site of an earlier 16th-century mosque, the monument was commissioned by Sultan Ahmed III after the Ottoman reconquest of 1715. It now lies in a mostly ruinous state, abandoned and neglected. Some restoration work was completed in 2000.

- 2Acrocorinth
Historic Site
Acrocorinth is a monolithic rock overlooking the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. In the estimation of George Forrest, "It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece." With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.
