Ephesus, located near the modern-day town of Kuşadası in Turkey, is one of the most well-preserved ancient cities in the world. This ancient Greek city was historically significant as a major trade and religious center. Among its many attractions, the Library of Celsus stands out as a stunning architectural feat, once holding thousands of scrolls. The Great Theatre, capable of seating around 25,000 spectators, is another remarkable structure, showcasing the advanced engineering skills of its time. Ephesus is also home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, although little remains of it today.
