Temple of Artemis (Artemision)

It is a beautiful and highly evocative place, especially if you have read about the fascinating Ephesus Artemis cult or seen the section devoted to it in the splendid Ephesus Museum. There is also a great view of the İsa Bey mosque, the Basilica of St John and Ayasuluk Fortress from here.

You do not need to pay the price to see the Ephesus Artemis Temple. Apart from the Temple of Artemis, you need to get a museum card for the Ephesus Ancient City, the Church of St. John, and the Ephesus Museum. For Turkish citizens, the museum pass is 60 Turkish lira.

Once larger than the Parthenon, the Temple of Artemis was among the grandest religious buildings ever constructed. Built in the 6th century BCE, it represented devotion, wealth and artistic mastery. This image imagines the temple still standing, dominating the city as a sacred and cultural landmark.
