The House of the Virgin MaryThe House of the Virgin Mary is believed to be the place where the mother of Jesus Christ spent her final years. The shrine has been visited by several Popes over the decades—Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1979, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. During their visits, they offered various gifts and blessings to the site, many of which are still on display for visitors today.

Ephesus Terrace HousesThe Terrace Houses complex in Ephesus consists of luxurious residential villas, located on the northern slope of Bülbüldağı Hill, next to Curetes Street and opposite the Temple of Hadrian. So far, two housing complexes - Eastern and Western - have been excavated. They were built according to the Hippodamian plan where the roads transect each other at right angles. The excavation work of the Terrace Houses started in 1960. The restoration of the houses is an ongoing process and every year there is something new to admire there.

The Temple of ArtemisArtemis was the Greek goddess, the virginal huntress and twin of Apollo, who replaced the Titan Selene as Goddess of the Moon. The ancient temple was built around 650 BC to the cult of Artemis, was constructed on a site already sacred to the Anatolian Mother Goddess,Cybele. The temple was financed by the wealthy king of Lydia and marshy ground was selected for the building site as a precaution against future earthquakes.
