 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)[1] was the medieval port for the Frankish Principality of Antioch, located on the mouth of the Orontes River.[2] 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.
