Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus is an archaeological gem, renowned as the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, it was the second-largest city globally, following Rome, with a population exceeding 250,000. Positioned at the heart of the known world, it served as a bridge between East and West. Its vast harbor made it a hub of ancient trade. Ephesus was not only a wealthy commercial center but also a magnificent city where Mark Anthony and Cleopatra spent their honeymoon. It houses the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The city is so well-preserved that strolling through its ancient streets, amidst stunning monuments like the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theater on the Asian continent, feels like traveling back in time.
-
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 the 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.
