Ancient City of Ephesus
See the ruins of the Greek Ancient City of Ephesus, home to the famous Temple of Artemis, named one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This city was built in the 10th century BCE by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists and came under Roman rule in 129 BCE, when it flourished as one of the largest cities in the Empire. Explore this ancient archeological site entirely on foot, marvel at the spectacular facade of its library, and enjoy the proximity to other tourist attractions.

These remnants are relics, also reminders that what ancient people achieved with their primitive technology and what we can achieve with ours.

Impressive! Romans knew something about building. The library columns are of different sizes to make the building facade look higher! Take some time to read about the place, it gets much more interesting than simply observing the old rocks.
