History

Demirköprü is the location of the ancient settlement of Gephyra (= bridge in Greek),[3] an important station for the transport of goods from the port of Seleucia Pieria to Antioch and further east to Euphrates.[4] Around 20 miles north of Antioch, the bridge known as "Iron Bridge" due to its iron braces spanned the Orontes on nine arches. The bridge lasted until the twentieth century when it was pulled town.[5]

Nearby is Tell Tayinat which is probably Kinalua, the capital of the Neo-Hittite kingdom of Pattin.[6]
