Значение этого места
В Антиохии, нынешней Антакье, последователи Иисуса впервые получили имя «христиане» (Деян 11:26). Этот город был отправной точкой всех трёх миссионерских путешествий Павла и первым центром языческохристианской миссии.
Апостольский грот (Сенлурлу Мааарасы / Пещера Петра) считается одной из древнейших церквей мира — пещерой, где первая христианская община Антиохии совершала богослужения.
ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ: Антакья сильно пострадала в результате землетрясения в феврале 2023 года. Значительная часть исторической территории города всё ещё восстанавливается. Уточняйте актуальное состояние объектов перед поездкой.
Ключевые места для посещения

Daphne / Harbiye waterfalls
Ancient suburb of Antioch famed in Roman times; pleasant walking and tea-gardens.

Monastery of Saint Symeon Stylites the Younger
Ruined 6th-century pillar-monastery on the Samandag road, where Saint Symeon spent decades atop a column.

Советы паломникам
💡 Советы паломникам
- As of mid-2026, base yourself in Iskenderun (35 km north) or Adana (200 km) rather than Antakya itself — most accommodation in central Antakya is gone since the February 2023 earthquake.
- The Saint Peter's Cave Church (Senpiyer Kilisesi) is open year-round; the only Catholic Mass of the year there is on 29 June (feast of Saints Peter and Paul) — bookable through the Latin Catholic Vicariate of Anatolia.
- Visit the new Hatay Archaeology Museum (the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics) in a single morning, then drive to the Saint Peter's Cave for an afternoon visit. The two together require 4-5 hours.
- Check current UK FCDO and US State Department advisories the week of travel — the regional security picture is still fluid because of the Syrian border 60 km south.
- Petrol stations and supermarkets along the Iskenderun-Antakya highway are well-stocked; do not rely on Antakya itself for fuel, ATMs or food beyond a single restaurant block.
- Hatay was historically the most religiously diverse city in modern Turkey (Sunni, Alawite, Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Syriac, Catholic, Jewish). Speak to local Christians at Saint Peter's Cave guardhouse — they are eager to share the community's post-earthquake situation.

ℹ️ Знаете ли вы?
- Antioch is mentioned by name 19 times in the New Testament — more than any city outside Jerusalem. It was the launchpad of all three of Paul's missionary journeys (Acts 13:1-3; 15:35; 18:22-23).
- The five Patriarchs of the Pentarchy (Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem) all trace their authority to apostolic foundation. The Patriarch of Antioch traces succession to Saint Peter (Galatians 2:11) — making it, alongside Rome, one of Peter's two patriarchal Sees.
- Antioch's school of biblical interpretation (Theodore of Mopsuestia, John Chrysostom) emphasised historical-grammatical reading of Scripture, in contrast to Alexandria's allegorical method. Modern Protestant biblical exegesis owes its method partly to Antiochene literalism.
- The 526 and 588 earthquakes destroyed ancient Antioch; the city never recovered its position as the third city of the Roman Empire (after Rome and Alexandria). The February 2023 earthquake was the worst since the 6th century.
Biblical references
- Acts 11:19-26 — “The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
- Acts 13:1-3 — “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers... So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia.”
- Galatians 2:11-14 — “When Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face.”
