The tunnel is situated nearby Çevlik village in Samandağ district of Hatay Province. It is located at the foot of Nur Mountains about {{convert|35|km|mi|abbr=on}} southwest of Antakya, the historical harbor city Antioch on the Orontes in eastern Mediterranean coast. The tunnel is part of a water diversion system consisting of a dam, a short approach channel, the first tunnel section, a short intermediary channel, the second tunnel section and a long discharge channel. The construction of the tunnel was ordered by Roman emperor Vespasian (reigned 69–79 AD) to divert the floodwaters running down the mountain and threatening the harbor. It was built by digging the rocks using manpower only. The construction began in the Vespasian time, continued under his son Titus (r. 79–81 AD) and his successors, completed in the 2nd century, during the reign of Antoninus Pius (r. 138–161). An inscription carved in rock at the entrance of the first tunnel section shows the names of Vespasianus and Titus, and another one at the discharge tunnel the name of Antonius. World Heritage Site statusThe tunnel was added to the tentative list in the cultural category of UNESCO World Heritage Site on April 15, 2014.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/state=tr |publisher=UNESCO |title=Tentative Lists – State Party: Turkey |accessdate=2016-09-21 }} [1]}}{{Tentative list of World Heritage Sites in Turkey}}{{commons category|Vespasian Titus Tunnel}} 10 : Ancient Roman buildings and structures in Turkey|Tunnels in Turkey|Water tunnels|Buildings and structures in Hatay Province|Samandağ District|Buildings and structures completed in the 2nd century|Vespasian|Titus|Antoninus Pius|World Heritage Site Tentative list |
