All Rights Reserved.Antakya, which has been a main settlement for many civilizations from the Hellenistic Period to the present, is a multi-layered city. Studies involving the historical stratification of Antakya include physical determinations related to the ancient period of the city, the development of the urban form during historical periods, the history of settlements and city monographs. The city monographs of Sauvaget (1935) and Weullersse (1934), prepared during the French Mandate Period, provide information regarding the revelation of the ancient physical structure of the city and understanding its relations with the city of the period. On the other hand, studies conducted within the scope of urban morphology and urban conservation research focused on issues such as the analysis of the urban structure of the multi-layered city, the investigation of the relationship between physical traces and urban form (Rifaioğlu, 2018; Rifaioğlu, 2012; Demir, 2016; Demir, 2004; Pinon, 2004).
