Ancient City of Ephesus
Ephesus was a major ancient Greek and later Roman city located in western Turkey, near modern-day Selçuk. It was one of the largest cities of the Roman Empire and a key center of trade, culture, and religion. Famous for the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), Ephesus also boasts remarkable ruins like the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and Marble Street. It was an important center for early Christianity—Saint Paul preached here, and it's believed that the Virgin Mary spent her final years nearby. Today, Ephesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Turkey’s most visited archaeological attractions.
