Monuments on Curetes Street: The Temple of Hadrian and the Hadrian Gate, both built in honor of Emperor Hadrian. Major Landmarks: The Artemision (Temple of Artemis), which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; a massive Great Theatre with a seating capacity of 25,000; the Stadium; and the Commercial and State Agoras.
