Hisn al-Tinat

Ḥiṣn al-Tīnāt (Arabic: حصن التينات, lit. 'fortress of the figs') was an Early Islamic to Middle Byzantine frontier settlement located on the eastern Cilician coastal plain. It is identified with the archaeological site known as the Tüpraş Field, near Kinet Höyük, in the Hatay Province of modern Turkey. The site was active roughly from the mid-8th century to the early 12th century CE, when it functioned as a settlement with a fortified core within the Islamic–Byzantine frontier. During this period, it linked inland Anatolia with Syria and the maritime network of the eastern Mediterranean. It also served as a coastal port specializing in the export of timber.
