Titus Tunnel
Titus Tunnel stands as a monumental Roman engineering feat hewn out of solid rock near Samandag.
It was designed to safeguard the ancient port of Seleucia Pieria from flooding. The work on the tunnel was started under Emperor Vespasian and finished during the rule of Emperor Titus.
It was a passage for water from the mountains to be diverted away from the sea port. Its gigantic size is evidence of the Roman's architectural expertise and their ability to mobilize manpower.
Situated in Seleucia Pieria, the tunnel is a testament to how urban infrastructure can support trade and city life.
