PAUSANIAS, who visited Messinia 5 YEARS LATER, locates it where the modern town of PETALIDI is situated. Pausanias also gives an account of the two temples of Dionysus, Artemis and Aesculapius as well as the Statue of Athena, the Copper Statue of Zeus, the temples of Ino, Koryhton Apollo and the little town of Kollonidon.

The great alignments of the wider Greek territory in the following centuries have found Koroni at its present location. Koroni was then conquered by Franks, Venetians and, finally, by the Ottoman Turks in 1500 A.D.

In 1824, the Greeks resolve in assaulting the castle of KORONI, the so-called RESALTO, the Turks however take notice of them and kill them. In 1825, IBRAHIM PASHA, burned and devastated entirely KORONI.

In 1828, the French General MAISON hands over KORONI to NIKITARAS, the Greek chieftain, known also as Turk - Slayer, and JOSEPH, the bishop of Androusa eulogizes in the Venetian TEMPLE of St. ROK, which is then converted into the Orthodox Church of St.
Charalambos.
