 The temple of artemis - 1 of
the 7 wonders by globetrott
The TEMPLE OF ARTEMISAnd what you see on my pic is all that is left over of it.
The temple is a bit outside of the excarvation-area, and you would certainly pass by it without notice, if your guide would not tell you.
Sorry for the bad quality of the photo - it is a scanning of my Super-8-film, that is actually a slide with a size of just 4mmx8mm Leave a Comment Directions: This place is OUTSIDE of the excarvation-area of the old Efesus .

 The last remaining column from
the temple by mikelisaanna, 1 more photos
The temple was severely damaged by the invading Goths in the 3rd century, and then destroyed further by a Christian mob in the 5th century. Earthquakes and floods finished it off, leaving almost nothing standing. Today, you can see parts of the foundation remaining, as well a single column, which was assembled from the fragments of a number of the temple's columns. Admission to the site is free. Leave a Comment Directions: Across the highway from the northern (downhill) entrance to Ephesus.

The temple housed many works of art, including four ancient bronze statues of Amazons sculpted by the finest artists at the time. When St Paul visited the city, the temple was adorned with golden pillars and silver statuettes, and was decorated with paintings. There is no evidence that a statue of the goddess herself was placed at the center of the sanctuary, but there is no reason not to believe so.
The early detailed descriptions of the temple helped archeologists reconstruct the building. Many reconstructions depicted the fasade with a four-column porch which never existed. More accurate reconstructions may give us an idea about the general layout of the temple. However, its true beauty lies in the architectural and artistic details which will forever remain unknown.

There's not much left to see of the great temple of Diana, one of the wonders of the ancient world. Earthquakes weakened the structure, then builders throughout the centuries pilfered the site (supposedly some of the columns in the Hagia Sophia are from this temple) and finally foreign museums have finished off the job. Only one column is left standing (with stork's nest on top). The terrace at the Church of St. John offers as good a view as any of the site. Incredible to think that the temple was so large that the Parthenon could have been placed within it. Leave a Comment

One of the Wonders of the Ancient World,this temple is no longer standing,although you can get a glimpse and have a good time imagining how it is.The only standing column can be seen.
The Greek mother-goddess Arthemis and her temple brought much fame to the city of Ephesus back in those days.
One interesting fact of the temple was that it held the function of a BANK! High Priest Megabysos was in charge of the budget of the temple ; he gave credit and received the gifts made to the goddess. Leave a Comment Directions: On your way from Selcuk to Ephesus

Approx two to three hundred meters from the Ephesus museum you will come across a large hole, which turns into a pool of water in the spring months, this is where the temple of arthemis use to be. Most of the remnants which have architectural value, and belonged to the temple are now in the British Museum. Some made of gold and ivory are in the Archaeology Museums in Istanbul and at Ephesus. This was the place of one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. Leave a Comment
