  He was buried on the southern slope of Ayosolug Hill by his disciples. Roman Emperor Justinian constructed one of the largest Basilicas of Christianity in the 4th Century A.D. over the burial site of St. John the Evangelist!
• The Temple of Artemis - Artemis was the Greek goddess, the virginal huntress and twin of Apollo, who replaced the Titan Selene as Goddess of the Moon.

The ancient temple, built around 650 BC to honor the cult of Artemis, was constructed on a site already sacred to the Anatolian Mother Goddess, Cybele. The temple was financed by the wealthy king of Lydia, and the marshy ground was chosen for the building site as a precaution against future earthquakes.

Over time, it has been destroyed and collapsed multiple times due to natural disasters.
