Antakya was the ancient Antioch of biblical times, founded in 300 BC. Vilified as the most debauched city of the Roman Empire, it was where Peter established the first Christian community, at one time headed by St Paul. The world’s first Christian church, St Peter’s Grotto, was here and St Barnabas also visited.
