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.
