  Bibliotheque de Celsus

  The Library of Celsus is one of the most elegant monuments in ancient Ephesus. It was both a public library and a monumental tomb; Celsus was actually buried in a sarcophagus beneath the building.

  Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

  The House of the Virgin Mary lies just beyond Ephesus. According to Christian tradition, Mary was brought here by the Apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ and lived her final days in this house. A small shrine dedicated to St. Mary was found when the ruins of the house were first discovered. The Vatican has since recognized the site as the final resting place of the Virgin.
