Its story
The building, designed by a French architect, stood on the bank of the Asi River in Cumhuriyet Square. It was used as the parliament during the short-lived independence period of the Hatay State (1938–1939), and the decision for Hatay to join Türkiye was taken here. Having served for many years as a museum and cultural venue, the building collapsed in the earthquakes of 6 February 2023. Today those who visit the site can only see the reconstruction process.
