Important Places to See in the Ancient City of Ephesus
The Temple of Artemis
Undoubtedly, the Temple of Artemis is one of the essential structures in the Ancient City of Ephesus. But unfortunately, this considerable complex succumbed to history, and only a few columns have survived today. However, as a result of the information given by our guide, you can imagine the size of the Temple of Artemis and understand how important it was for its period.
Ephesus Ancient Theater
One of the most essential structures of the Ancient City of Ephesus is the Ephesus Antique Theatre. With a capacity of 24 thousand, this theater was the largest theater of its time. Although the stage was destroyed, it is a structure that has survived to the present day with excellent preservation.
Ephesus Celsus Library
The most well-known structure of the Ancient City of Ephesus is undoubtedly the Celsus Library. The first thing that comes to mind when Ephesus has mentioned shows that the Celsus library is identified with the Ancient City of Ephesus. This gigantic structure has survived to the present day with perfect preservation.
Ephesus Hillside Houses
Yamac Evler (Yamac Houses) is one of the important works of Ephesus. You have to pay an extra fee to enter here. Yamac Evler is the name given to the houses where the wealthy lived. It is one of the structures that have managed to reach the present day by being very well preserved.
House of Virgin Mary (Church)
The House of Virgin Mary, also known as the Virgin Mary Church, is located on Bülbül Mountain, 9 kilometers from Selçuk city center. Hz. About five years after the death of Jesus, St. John is said to have brought the Virgin Mary to Ephesus, and the Virgin Mary spends her last days in this house. The discovery of the Virgin Mary’s House shed new light on the Christian world, and this place has become the center of attention. Pope Paul VI paid a visit to this house, which is also considered sacred by Muslims, in 1967, and after this date, rituals began to be held on the 15th day of August every year.
