Özet:

Our country is very rich in terms of cities with historical layers; however, their numbers are gradually decreasing. It is very important for the continuity of societies to pass on historical values to future generations without deterioration. The common points and the differences between the layers are provide this continuity. Antakya is one of the few cities that has strong identity elements belonging to different layers and continues its development by preserving its historical value. In this study, different layers of the city were analyzed and compared in urban and architectural scales, in order to preserve the cultural continuity; and historical common points and differences in the city were tried to be determined. The study aims to make a reference to the future growth of the city by determining the reasons why and how those common points took place and under which conditions. For this purpose; The city in the Roman Period was examined on an urban scale. Important buildings were mentioned and highlighted where the Roman period villas, in order to focus on the residential fabric of the settlement in more detail, were examined on a plan basis, in architectural scale. Similarly, The Ottoman Period of the city was also examined on an urban and architectural scale, and common features were revealed in the context of the city plan and residences. The current situation of the city of Antakya, on the other hand, has not been investigated in the same detailed manner since it does not reflect the historical and local characteristics of the city that are mentioned previously, to that extent. As a result, the urban and architectural characteristics of the historical layers of the city are both determined and compared. The evaluation of the data obtained through focusing on the architectural common and differing points of those layers, belonging to different cultures in the history, determined and act as a reference to guide future designs.
