The Charon Relief is a four-metre rock carving on the hillside north of the Church of Saint Peter. It was started in the second century BC as a protective image during a plague, then left unfinished when the emergency passed.
It is not polished or easy to read at first glance. That is part of the appeal: a rough survival from the city's Hellenistic past, still looking down over the modern edge of Antakya.
