titus tunnel details from UNESCO
The Titus Tunnel, built over ten years in the first century A.D.
by a thousand Roman slaves, is located 5 kilometers from Samandağ
district in Hatay province, The tunnel was constructed to prevent
mountain waters from inundating the harbor there with silt and rocks.
All agree, the best 10 years of their lives. Just delightful work!
Local and foreign tourists have flocking to the site, which includes,
besides the tunnel, rock graves and the Beşikli Cave, all set amid
splendid greenery. The tunnel was begun by order of Roman Emperor
Vespasian (69-79 A.D.) and completed by his successors.
Samandağ district is on the Med coast in southern Hatay.
