Hatay Archaeological MuseumThe Hatay Archaeological Museum is an excellent museum of ancient art. Its collections include most of the famous mosaics from ancient Antioch that were discovered in 1932-39, and is thus sometimes known as the Mosaic Museum.
Cave Church of St. PeterThis cave is widely believed to have been dug by the Apostle Peter himself as a place for the early Christian community of Antioch to meet, and thus to be the very first Christian church. Whether or not this is so, St. Peter (and St. Paul) did preach in Antioch around 50 AD and a church had been established in Antioch by as early as 40 AD.
CharonionThis carved stone bust in the mountainside above Antioch dates from the 3rd century BC and was probably created in the hopes of averting a plague. Placemark is approximate.
Seleucia Pieria ChurchNow completely destroyed, this church was built in the late 400s in Antioch's port city of Seleucia Pieria. Many interesting examples of early Christian mosaic and relief art were discovered here. Placemark is approximate.
