In the 1st century AD, it was the second-largest city in the world after Rome, with a population exceeding 250,000 people. Positioned at the heart of the ancient world, it served as a major gateway between East and West and developed into a powerful commercial hub thanks to its vast harbor. Beyond its economic importance, Ephesus is also known for its rich historical and cultural heritage. It was famously associated with Mark Antony and Cleopatra as a honeymoon destination and is home to the remains of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, walking through its remarkably preserved streets offers a unique time travel experience, with iconic landmarks such as the Library of Celsus the third largest library of antiquity and the Grand Theatre, the largest Roman theatre in Asia Minor.

It originally featured 127 Ionic columns, each approximately 19 meters high, making it one of the most remarkable structures of its time. Beyond its religious importance, the Temple of Artemis is also often regarded as one of the earliest known financial centers, sometimes described as the “bank” of the ancient world due to its role in commerce and deposits.
