Ephesus is one of the greatest ancient cities. A Greece city was first built here in about 1000 BC and became the chief port on the Aegean Sea under the Romans which most of the surviving structures dated from this period.
Behind P.Ou was Roman's bathhouse.
Water pipes.
Public toilets.
Temple of Hadrain - The head of Medusa is the most famous bit of decoration on this fine temple built in 118 AD to honor Emperor Hadrian.
It is told to be the first advertisement of the world for The Prostitute House.
Library of Celsus - A technological wonder, with double walls to keep out the damp and moderate the extremes of temperature, it is also perhaps the most beautiful building at Ephesus, finely restored.
The Great Theater - Built into the slope of Panayir Dagi, this is the Roman reconstruction (41-117 AD) of the earlier theater built by Lysimachus. Though huge, with 25,000 seats, its ingenious engineering gives it excellent acoustics. It's still used for performances and special events.
The temple of Artemis is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. It is said that the temple was destroyed by fire.
