The Temple of Artemis

There is not much to see at the Temple of Artemis. I would suggest not making a special trip there but stopping by for a few moments on your way to one of the better sites. It can be seen from St. John's basilica.

Visiting the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was a truly unforgettable experience. As one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, its historical significance is unparalleled. Although only ruins remain, you can still feel the grandeur and beauty that once made this site legendary. The surrounding area is well-maintained, and the guides provide insightful information about the temple's history, architecture, and cultural importance. The setting is peaceful, allowing you to imagine the magnificence of this ancient sanctuary dedicated to Artemis. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious, this site is a must-visit. It offers a profound connection to ancient civilizations and leaves you in awe of humanity's past achievements. Highly recommend taking the time to explore and appreciate this remarkable piece of history!

Nice historic place! Only one column left to see but it's one of the 7 ancient wonders if the world, but in ruins..Very close to Efes/Ephesus

Interesting ruins and remains of a 2,500 year-old temple. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World due to how massive it was. It was destroyed by St. John Chrysostom in A.D. 402.

The opening time is different in the winter time, so sometimes is good to plan if you want to see the last column. Gate is closed outside of the opening hours.

Not much left to see; however, you can imagine how large the temple must be in her glory days. The pillars were 18 meters high and were made of marble. Now, you can see one reconstruction left (but not entirely made of marble). Because the temple is in ruins, people don't usually spend too much time here.

If you are already in Selçuk, you must definitely visit. You need to use your imagination, though, because there is only one pillar and some part of the foundation left to see. There is no fee for visiting The construction began around 560 BC and took 120 to 200 years, according to various sources. The first attempt to ruin the Temple was an arson. An arsonist named Herostratus set the wooden frame of the ceiling by hope to immortalize his name. It's been said that Artemis was away and assisting in the delivery of Alexander. After liberating Ephesus(334 BC), Alexander the Great offered to pay all costs for completion of construction. But Ephesians said, "It was inappropriate for a god to dedicate offerings to gods." The Temple has been weakened by earthquakes. In 262 AD, it was burned by the goths. The ruins of the Temple are used as a quarry for the building of a byzantine city at Ephesus.

A lone column is all that remains of one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. Once one of the largest buildings in the Mediterranean. It was surrounded by 127 columns.
