Jebel Aqra, properly Jebel al-ʾAqraʿ , also known as Mount Casius, is a limestone mountain located on the Syrian–Turkish border near the mouth of the Orontes River on the Mediterranean Sea. Its Turkish side is also known as Mount Kel . Rising from a narrow coastal plain, Jebel Aqra is a mariners' landmark which gathers thunderstorms.
The cult site is still represented by a huge mound of ashes and debris, 180 feet wide and 26 feet deep, of which only the first 6 feet have been excavated. The researchers only reached as far as the Hellenistic strata before the site was closed, as it lies in a Turkish military zone on its border with Syria.
