Some of the highlights include the following:
- Temple of Artemis: dedicated to the goddess Artemis, or Diana to the Romans, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
- Library of Celsus: it was built to store some 12,000 scrolls and to be the tomb of the senator Celsus, who is still buried beneath it today.
- Hadrian's Temple: you will find the ruins where bronze statues of emperors such as Diocletian, Maximian, Constantine and Theodosius were found.
- House of the Virgin Mary: believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary was taken after Christ's crucifixion, making it the most important biblical shrine in Turkey.
In addition to the monuments, you can also get a close-up view of the town's magnificently preserved terraced houses from Ephesus' Roman period.
