Antioch on the Orontes, today’s Antakya, is named in Acts as the city where the disciples were first called Christians, and as a church that sent Paul and Barnabas. A cave church above the town is kept as St Peter’s. The city has been struck hard by earthquake in recent years. What can be visited is confirmed when the journey is planned, not assumed from an old brochure.
