Ephesus Archaeological Museum

Ephesus is a very old city in Turkey’s Central Aegean region, near modern-day Selçuk. Its dug up remains ponder centuries of history, from classical Greece to the Roman Empire – when it was the Mediterranean’s main trade center – to the spread of Christianity. Asphalted streets wind past squares, baths and monumental ruins. The Temple of Hadrian was constructed before 138 A.D. for the king Hadrian’s visit.
