Fountains of Trajan,
Polio, The Temples of
Hadrian and Domitian,
Terrace Houses, Vedious
and Scholastic Baths,

there are luxurious
private houses, known as
the Terrace Houses, are

Occupied from the 1st

WHAT YOU VISIT
Ephesus - Enter through
the Magnesia Gate and
walking through the
Odeon, the Celsius
Library, the Temple of
Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan and the Great
Theater.
The Theater had seating
for 25,000, was the site
where St. Paul preached
to the Ephesians, and is
used today for a local
spring festival.
The Ephesus Terrace
Houses are located on
the slopes of Bulbul
Mountain, opposite the
Hadrian Temple and they
are called as "the
houses of rich", as only
rich people could afford
such houses.
Did you know that fact
about Ephesus?
But did you know about
the place outside of
Ephesus called garbage
heap (trash heap)?
According to the
historical records
unwanted babies - mostly
girls -due to the belief
to the Artemis goddess
(Artemis was the goddess
of fertility both giving
blessings to woman
willing to have a child
and also protecting from
the child birth, as
every third woman was
likely to die during the
child birth) were left
in the isolated area to
die. The most healthiest
of them were picked up
by the slave traders and
used to be slaves or
prostitutes.
