As '''Antioch ad Orontes''', it was capital of the province of Syria Palaestina. Antakya is famous as an important centre of early Christianity, with some of the first non-hidden churches. The local museum has an extensive collection of the 3rd-century Antioch mosaics, which depict mythological characters and geometrical patterns in distinct styles. The surrounding countryside features the Titus Tunnel, a Roman engineering marvel, a channel cut through the rock for nearly a mile (about 1.4 km). Today the channel is dry, but still worth a visit.
