Today, we visited the ancient site of Ephesus. Ephesus was one of the largest cities in the Roman world and it has been excavated extensively.
We also visited the site of the ancient temple of Artemis, outside of Ephesus. This temple was considered one of the wonders of the ancient word. Unfortunately, almost nothing is left of it. The column in the photo below shows what remains of the ancient temple. Behind it is a medieval mosque and the ruins of St. John's Basilica, built in the 6th century.
