Well-preserved Roman Baths, fountains, temples, agora, and even public toilets

Ephesus is not just a historical site — it’s a walk through the vibrant life of an ancient civilization. - Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House): The House of the Virgin Mary is a sacred pilgrimage site for Christians, believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary spent her final years and passed away.
The site gained international recognition after Pope Paul VI visited in 1967, offering his unofficial confirmation of its authenticity. Later, Pope John Paul II visited in 1979, followed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2006.
Each of them left gifts and tokens of respect, many of which are still on display at the shrine today. - The Temple of Artemis: Once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis was a magnificent structure dedicated to the goddess of the hunt and fertility. Though only a few columns remain today, its legacy as one of antiquity’s greatest architectural achievements continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
