EDITORS COMMENTS
Antioch-Antakya, an ancient city nestled on the banks of the Orontes River in the far south of modern-day Turkey, is depicted in this evocative photograph from the 1920s. Founded in the 4th century BC, Antioch was once a thriving metropolis that rivaled Alexandria as the greatest city in the Near East. Throughout the centuries, it was a cradle of Christianity and a cultural melting pot, attracting people from all corners of the Mediterranean world. During the Ottoman Empire, Antioch was part of the Syrian Vilayet and was a significant trading hub. However, its strategic location made it a frontline city, often caught in the crossfire of conflicts between the Muslim and Christian worlds. In the early 20th century, the city was part of the Ottoman Empire, but the region's political landscape was rapidly changing. This photograph captures a moment in time when Antioch-Antakya was still bearing the marks of its rich history. The houses along the riverside, with their distinctive folding shutters, are a testament to the city's architectural heritage. The Orontes River, which has played a crucial role in the city's development, meanders gently in the background. The city's name has changed over the centuries, from Antiochia in the ancient world to Antakya in modern Turkey, and from Hatay when it was part of Syria. Despite these changes, the city's history and cultural significance endure, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East.
