Ephesus Greco-Roman Metropolis & Library of Celsus
Once the thriving capital of Roman Asia with a population exceeding 250,000, Ephesus preserves paved marble streets flanked by opulent terrace houses, public baths, and the monumental Celsus Library facade. St. Paul walked these avenues, and the site once housed the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Ancient Wonders.
“One of the most complete classical cities of the Mediterranean, boasting the iconic two-story Library of Celsus and a 25,000-seat theater.”
