The "Kültür Miras" or Antioch Heritage Centre
was opened on the main street in 1999. The center tries to affirm
the rich heritage of the city by offering the customer a tremendous
selection.
Kültür Miras promotes local art and handicrafts like
silk, stone work, and the famous Daphne soap. Laurel oil is the
main ingredient in the soap. The medical qualities of the Laurel
oil which is produced on the hills around Antakya has been known
since ancient times
The center offers a wide range of literature in different languages-satisfying
the one who is curious about the city's rich heritage. The cafe
is designed as an old Antakean house, and the guests will experience
some of the hospitality and openness that the Apostle Paul envisioned
while living in Antakya
