Extensive ruins of a city inhabited from circa 300 BC to 700 AD: "Antioch" was the name given to some 16 cities by the Seleucids. In the Roman era, St Paul's sermon at the synagogue got him and colleague Barnabas run out of town. The site's main features are the West Gate, Decumanus Maximus Street its east-west main street with the theatre, and Cardo Maximus at a right angle with the Temple of Augustus, Roman church and Nymphaeum.
