Ephesus Ruins | A must-see city in Turkey that has stood for thousands of years.

Ephesus, a dazzling gem on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, is a perfectly preserved classical city that transcends time and space, inviting you to immerse yourself in the glorious past of the Roman Empire. As the glorious capital of the Roman province of Asia, it is known as the "leading metropolis in Asia" and is known for being "better than Rome". Since ancient times, this city of various styles has been an indispensable stop for travelers exploring Turkey. Its ancient city ruins span two thousand years and have now been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, guarding the common memory of mankind. Walking on the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, a historical corridor about two kilometers long from northwest to southeast slowly unfolds, and every brick and tile tells the glory of the past. The stone column corridor leads you into the sacred hall, and the statue of Artemis silently watches, telling the compassion and strength of the goddess. The altar of Roman Emperor Domitian witnessed the peak of imperial power; the Socratic mural, with the depth of ancient Greek philosophy, is thought-provoking. The relief of Theodosius, a representative of the Monophysite sect of Christ, is a masterpiece of the fusion of religion and art. In addition, the solemnity of the Temple of Hadrian, the tranquility of St. John's Church, the profoundness of the library, the liveliness of the theater, the warmth of the bath... Every relic is a vivid reproduction of the life style of that era, making people feel like they are in a different world, and they are reluctant to leave.
