The main wharf is formed by a double line of rocks 35 meters long. There is a well preserved block of stone with a hole in the middle, which very probably was used to hold the boats while they were moored in the dock. Around the wharf there is a complex of sacred caves at various levels, established no doubt to satisfy the religious needs of the sailors. This work seems to have orientated the construction in the River Orontes. It was begun by the Emperor Trajan and continued by the Antonines. The River Orontes played an important role in the transportation of merchandise and construction materials between the great lands of Syria and Antioch.
