Antakya Museum Hotel Geometric mosaic

Summary[edit]

Description
English: One of some pictures of, mainly geometric, mosaics that adorn large floor areas. Also shown the connecting structures, and the space in general. Some remains of buildings are in the area too. The region often suffers from earthquakes, as a result some of the floors have been distorted, showing wave patterns. In general the patters remain clearly visible.

During works for a planned hotel extensive mosaics were found in Antakya. The work was halted and the decision made to build the hotel after the mosaics had been excavated. Also, to put the hotel on columns over it, with plenty of space to turn the lower part into a museum. I visited the site, and was allowed to take pictures in part of the area, another part was waiting formal opening as a Turkish' state-run museum. Some pictures I took through a glass ceiling with the mosaics below, others from several spots where one could get close. A lot of perspective control was required. Earthquakes have undulated some of the floors.
