Ephesus proudly houses one of the seven ancient wonders of the world; the Temple of Artemis.
The Artemis Temple
The Artemis Temple of Ephesus was demolished and rebuilt seven times, according to the famous historian Strabon. It was built always to the same site. Since the first construction it has seen certain modifications and improvements.
Today the site of the temple is a marshy field. A single column is erect to remind visitors that once there stood in that place one of the wonders of the ancient world.
