The old city of Antakya is completely covered with city walls and access to the city is provided through 5 gates built between the castle walls. They are the Damascus Gate in the south, the Aleppo Gate (Medina-St.Paul) in the north, the Iron Gate in the east, the Bridge Gate in the west and the Dog Gate in the northwest. The Bridge Gate, depicted in the engraving and being the entrance by Samandağ (Suadeh), was located at the end of the stone bridge over the Asi (Orontes) River. The Bridge Gate was demolished at the end of the 19th century. The stone bridge in front of the Bridge Gate is the Antakya Bridge. The Antakya Bridge, which is 1700 years old and has a Roman architecture, was destroyed in 1972. Ata Bridge, which is used today, was built in place of the destroyed Antakya Bridge. Asi (Orontes) River is the only river flowing in the opposite direction in its region and thus flowing from south to north. For this reason, it is called the river Asi (english meaning "rebel") by the people. Large-bodied Antakya mosques with high minarets with wooden balconies on the top are also depicted in Engraving.
