Built in the 10th century B.C.E., superbly well-preserved Ephesus was once a thriving Greek and Roman city.

Other notable buildings include the imposing Library of Celsus and the Gate of Augustus. Ephesus lies on the western coast of modern-day Turkey and is one of the eastern Mediterranean’s greatest Roman archaeological sites.
