Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez

antioquía
  20

Name of an ancient city in Turkey. It was also called Antakya, Antioch of Orontes or Antioch of Syria. It is also the name of a city in Peru, better known as Huamansica, which is the capital of the Antioch District and belongs to the Province of Huarochiri, in the Department of Lima. There are other places in Turkey that are also called Antioch: in Pisidia, Migdonia and Taurus. It should never be confused with Antioquia (Without a tilde), which is the name of a Department of Colombia and has other meanings. In this case it means "Golden Mountain" in reference to the large number of gold mines in the region. A version of Latin origin of the place name has been disseminated as "against stillness or against rest", pointing out the great industriousness of its inhabitants.
