Ephesus, Turkey

The ancient city of Ephesus was one of the largest in the Roman Empire, with a very long history from earliest times. We visited the center of the ancient city, with good views of the library and the theater. 

A very strange archaic statue of Artemis in the archaeology museum.

At the remains of the ancient city, which has been preserved and restored.
The first restorations were in the 19th century, and work continues.


At its peak of population, Ephesus had around 1.5 million people.
Today the number of tourists and visitors was less than that, but it was crowded!
