Hatay, whose foundation dates back to the 4th century BC, has hosted many important civilisations until today. For this reason, Hatay is one of the cities where history, culture and flavour will appear in the most generous way. Hatay reflects the most beautiful colours of the mosaic of civilisations, where different languages and beliefs live in harmony.
Muslim, Christian and Jewish people still live together. This cosmopolitan city, where three Abrahamic faiths live at the same time, was declared as the city of Peace by UNESCO.
Hatay is home to Habib-i Neccar Mosque, one of the first mosques of Anatolia, and St Pierre Church, one of the first churches.
