Solin is an ancient historical city, of political and economic importance, that dominated the commercial movement in the Mersin region, due to its geographical location near southern Anatolia, on the edge of the timber-rich Taurus Mountains and the fertile Cilician alluvial plain. The city was distinguished by its architectural development compared to other cities at the time, as it included a commercial port, the largest of its kind in the region. Today, the city is one of the distinctive archaeological areas that history lovers visit.
