The House of the Virgin Mary is located on the Aladag Mountains, 5 miles from Ephesus.

• The Temple of Artemis - The Story of the Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis is a rare and magnificent structure dedicated to the Goddess Artemis. Like many iconic works, it has its own story. Artemis, known as the moon goddess and Apollo’s sister, is depicted in ancient Greek polytheistic beliefs as a figure with extraordinary powers. In mythology, Artemis is also described as a virgin Greek goddess. Unlike Greek goddesses, she is depicted as figures in Egyptian civilizations. Artemis was featured on coins minted at the time. The Temple of Artemis was designed by the Greek Architect Chershpron under the order of the Lydian King Croesus and was a gift to Artemis.
