# Iconium # ## Facts: ## Iconium was a city in the south central part of what is now the country of Turkey. * On Paul's first missionary journey, he and Barnabas went to Iconium after the Jews forced them to leave the city of Antioch. * Then the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles in Iconium also planned to stone Paul and his coworkers, but they escaped to the nearby city of Lystra. * After that the people from both Antioch and Iconium came to Lystra and stirred up the people there to stone Paul.
