St Symeon
Medieval harbour of the city of Antioch
St Symeon or Port St Symeon (Turkish: Samandağ or Suadiye) was the medieval port for the Frankish Principality of Antioch, located on the mouth of the Orontes River. It may be named after Saint Simeon Stylites the Younger, who dwelt on a mountain only six miles from St Symeon, or the original Saint Simeon Stylites, who was buried in Antioch.
