Temple site

#AprilTravelSupport Rating: 4.1/5 Major Attractions: Temple Ruins, Remaining Columns, Ancient City of Ephesus, Selcuk Castle Walking Distance: About 5 minutes on foot from the bus stop Description: The Temple of Artemis used to be sacred and magnificent, but now most of it has been destroyed, leaving only the massive ruins. Nevertheless, this is a symbolic place that makes you realize the status of ancient Ephesus, and it is strangely moving to imagine the footsteps of pilgrims and merchants who filled this place thousands of years ago. A single column rising above the surrounding fields and ruins vaguely reminds you of the glory of the past. Recommendation: A historic site that feels more meaningful when you see it in person than in photos. It is a good place to contemplate in a quiet atmosphere, or to plan a historical day trip by connecting it with the nearby Ephesus Theater or Selcuk Castle.
