This remarkable water tunnel was constructed during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, specifically for the city of Seleucia Pieria, which was a significant port of Antioch.

The tunnel’s historical significance is simply awe-inspiring, as it was a crucial structure that helped to transport water from the mountains to the city. It is a fascinating feat of engineering that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.

The Vespasianus Titus Tunnel is a living monument that showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ancient peoples and is a testament to the marvels that they were able to achieve.

The tunnel was added to the tentative list in the cultural category of UNESCO World Heritage Site on April 15, 2014.
