The Hall of Tyrannus: According to Acts 19:9-10, Paul taught daily in this lecture hall for two years, reaching both Jews and Greeks in the region. This extended period of teaching allowed Paul to establish a strong Christian community in Ephesus, which became a center for missionary activity throughout Asia Minor.
