veria

Veria, also called Veroia, has a population of about 35,000. It is a commercial center of Greek Macedonia, the capital of the prefecture of Imathia, and the seat of a bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church. Veria sits of the site of the ancient city of Beroea, which was prominent from the 4th century BC and part of the Kingdom of Macedon. Part of Rome from 168 BC, both Paul and Silas preached there in AD 54 or 55. Diocletian made the city one of two capitals of the Roman Province of Macedonia, and it was one of the earliest cities to become the seat of a bishop. Invaded by both Serbs and Bulgars, it was conquered by the Turks in 1361 and turned into a military colony under the name of Karaferiye. It was liberated by the Greeks in 1912.
