Unfortunately there are very few buildings have survived uncollapsed and architectural remains can now be seen only at foundation level. Straight and narrow sidestreets cut the main streets at right-angles. Houses were erected on every side of the city centre and at any point within the city wherever there was a convenient place. Other buildings cannot be precisely determined since Antioch has not yet been fully excavated. The north gate was narrower than the southern and led to the baths.
Detailed excavations are necessary before a clear picture of the nature of the city-plan can emerge.
