Ephesus | Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

The Temple of Artemis or Artemision, also known less precisely as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It was located in Ephesus (near the modern town of Selçuk in present-day Turkey). One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401 AD. Only foundations and sculptural fragments of the latest of the temples at the site remain Ephesus ( Efes in Turkish ), built in the 10th Century BCE, is one of the top attractions for anyone visiting Turkey. Its proximity to Izmir airport and to the cruise port of Kusadasi, makes it attractive to visitors from all around the world. T&T | Turizm & Tourism | Tourism in TURKEY
