  • Ancient City of Ephesus - The ancient city of Ephesus was an important Greek and Roman city located in what is now Turkey. It was once a major port city on the Aegean Sea and played a significant role in the ancient world.The city’s history dates back to the 10th century BCE, but it rose to prominence during the Classical Greek period. Ephesus played a key role in the trade routes of the ancient world and became a major center for the worship of the goddess Artemis.
  • The Temple of Artemis - One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis, was located in Ephesus. This grand structure was dedicated to the goddess Artemis, and its construction was financed by Croesus of Lydia. Unfortunately, little remains of the temple today.
  • Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The House of the Virgin Mary, also known as Meryemana in Turkish, is a religious and pilgrimage site located near Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey. According to Catholic and Orthodox tradition, it is believed that the Virgin Mary spent her final years in this house after the death of Jesus Christ. While the Bible does not explicitly mention the existence of the House of Mary in Ephesus, some religious scholars point to biblical passages suggesting that Mary lived with the Apostle John in Ephesus. The site gained prominence in the 19th century after the visions of a German nun, Anne Catherine Emmerich, who described the location of Mary’s house in Ephesus. This led to the discovery of a small stone house in the area, which was later identified as the House of the Virgin Mary.
