Ephesus, the city in ruins

Ephesus, the city in ruins - Turkey has a few of the most interesting classical ruins in the Mediterranean. Crossing point and cultural exchange for centuries, the Turkish coast is permeated even the classic spirit that marked the beginning of Western culture.

Today we will speak of the city of Ephesus, located between the northern end of Panayr Da? (the former Mount Pion) and the mouth of the river Cayster. Its coastline overlooking the Aegean Sea and is currently receiving a lot of cruise tourists, the scale is in the port of Ku? Adas?, About 20 kilometers from the city.

In Ephesus we visit the impressive Roman theater was about 24,500 spectators place and it was possible to see the stands to come by boat to the port city. Then we have one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Temple of Artemis which currently only holds one of the 120 columns that adorned.

In Ephesus not only can visit Roman ruins, but also the beginnings of Christianity left their mark here in the form of a small temple that has become known as The House of Mary and where, presumably, lived and spent his last days Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. And also nearby is the Church of San Juan where, also supposedly the apostle wrote his gospel.

Quite a ruined city that houses one of the best cultural and historical attractions of the Turkish coast. Team Jagat Tourism
