• Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus has been inhabited since the Neolithic era, reaching its peak during the Roman Empire as the capital of Asia Minor. As the second most significant city in the Roman Empire, Ephesus flourished and thrived. Its citizens were predominantly educated and affluent, and its architecture was lavishly adorned, reflecting the prosperity and interests of its residents. Today, tourists visit to witness the city’s remarkable historical legacy firsthand.
• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The House of the Virgin Mary is believed to be where the Virgin Mary spent her final days near Ephesus and passed away. This belief drew attention to a nun named Anna Katherina Emmerich, who lived in the late 18th century (1774-1820). Her vivid descriptions of the Virgin Mary’s journey to Ephesus, her life, and her last residence there, as well as the city’s characteristics, greatly influenced the search for the house, despite her never having visited Ephesus.
• The Temple of Artemis - The Temple of Artemis, also known as Artemesium, was located in Ephesus, now in western Turkey, and was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The grand temple was constructed by Croesus, the king of Lydia, around 550 BCE and was rebuilt after being set ablaze by a man named Herostratus in 356 BCE. The Artemesium was renowned not only for its vast size, measuring over 350 by 180 feet (approximately 110 by 55 meters), but also for the exquisite artworks that adorned it. The temple was destroyed by invading Goths in 262 CE and was never reconstructed. Although little of the temple remains, many fragments, particularly of sculptured columns, are housed in the British Museum. Excavations have uncovered traces of both Croesus’s temple and the 4th-century temple, as well as three earlier smaller ones.
