The main objective of this study is to highlight the importance of the sabun production activities in Antakya and historic sabun houses in terms of identity-industrial heritage-tourism. This aim was primarily focused on the relationship of the production of soap with the city identity. On the other hand, the Bureau of Protection-Application and Control (KUDEB) provided inventories and construction plan for the purposes of protection for historic structures, and with the help of these data, the spatial distribution of the sabotages was revealed. Based on the findings obtained from this study, it has been found that the production of soap and soap houses in Antakya are an important component of the city identity, the eight soap houses found in the research field are located within the historic tissue and in locations close to each other and that four of these soap houses must be re-functioned. It is also emphasized that the development of the industrial heritage route for the savannahes is important in terms of historical and cultural tourism and it is proposed that new cultural routes should also be developed.
