Ephesus Turkiye [View all]

This is an immense site. Artifacts from Early bronze age, pre 1,000 BC to abandonment in 1,500 AD.
Everybody who was anybody lived there starting before the Hittites. With so many things to view I may do 3 posts for this site.

Ephesus is an ancient city in Turkey’s Central Aegean region, near modern-day Selçuk. Its excavated remains reflect centuries of history, from classical Greece to the Roman Empire – when it was the Mediterranean’s main commercial center – to the spread of Christianity. Paved streets wind past squares, baths and monumental ruins. The Temple of Hadrian was built before 138 A.D. for Emperor Hadrian’s visit.

Most ruins today are Roman.
