Where did Saul preach Christ right after his conversion?

Right after his conversion, Saul preached Christ in the synagogue at Damascus, not in the marketplace or among the Gentiles. He proclaimed Christ to the Jews. This occurred after he received his sight, was baptized, and was strengthened with food.

Les explains that after Saul received his sight, was baptized, and ate, he was strengthened and spent certain days with the disciples at Damascus. Then straightway he preached Christ in the synagogue. Les emphasizes that Saul was preaching to Jews, not Gentiles, correcting the idea that he went to the marketplace or Gentiles. He asks what Saul preached, but the main point is the location and audience: the synagogue and the Jews.

Acts 9:20

And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
