Its story
The museum was created by preserving in situ the remains of ancient Antakya that came to light during the construction of a hotel. Visitors view layers stretching from the Hellenistic period to the Middle Ages and large mosaic floors from glass walkways. The building was one of the cultural venues least affected by the 6 February earthquakes. It reopened to visitors after maintenance and repair; the museum is located within the hotel complex.
