Port Saint Symeon

Port Saint Symeon
Port of St Symeon on the Mediterranean coast of the Principality of Antioch in 1135 AD.

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.
