Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, also known as the Artemesium, was constructed in the mid 6th century BC. It was located in Ephesus, and was considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its location was discovered in 1869, and excavations begun then. Several artifacts were excavated, and are housed today at the British Museum in London.

Celsus Library

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. This library is one of the most beautiful structures in Ephesus and was built in 117 A.D. The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake. The library was restored with the aid of the Austrian Archaeological Institute and the originals of the statues were taken to Ephesus Museum in Vienna in 1910.

House of the Virgin Mary

The house of Virgin Mary is a typical Roman architectural example, entirely made of stones. It is the place where Mary may have spent her last days. Mary preferred this remote place rather than living in crowded place. Today, only the central part and a room on the right of the altar are open to visitors. From there one can understand that this building looks more like a church than a house.
