Antioch as called in the ancient times, has been here an important city since 300 BC. For centuries it has been one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire and it was also an influential city at the early years of Christianity. Since than many different civilizations lived here and they all left a trace. Of course, very little have remained from those days, after all those wars and earthquakes. Yet, you can feel the history in the air. Strolling in the streets, tasting local food here and there, smelling those oriental smells, all is very mystical. Without seeing the old part of Antakya, which is in fact the center of the city, the trip to Antakya would be incomplete.
