- Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus is an archaeological gem, the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, Ephesus was the world’s second-largest city after Rome, with over 250,000 residents. It served as a pivotal gateway between East and West, boasting a massive harbor that made it a hub of ancient trade. Ephesus was not only a wealthy commercial center but also a captivating city where Mark Antony and Cleopatra famously honeymooned. It houses one of the ancient world’s seven wonders, the Temple of Artemis. The city’s preservation allows visitors to walk its ancient streets, feeling like time travelers among stunning monuments such as the third-largest library of the ancient world and the largest Roman theater on the Asian continent.
- The Temple of Artemis - Recognized as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Temple of Artemis was dedicated to the goddess of the hunt. Today, only its foundation and a single column remain of this once grand temple, which measured 425 feet in length and 220 feet in width. Paul’s successful ministry in Ephesus was seen as a threat to this temple. The city reached its Golden Age, becoming a cultural and artistic model for the ancient world.
