It is the diagonal street that runs from the State Agora, past the Slope Houses, to the Library of Celsus. Curetes Street was both a main city street and an important processional route in the cult of Artemis.
The street assumed its final appearance in the 4th and 5th centuries.
There were fountains, monuments, statues and shops on the sides of the street. The shops on the south side were two-storied. Ephesus had many earthquakes, in which many structures including the Curetes Street were damaged.
You can watch my 3 min 19 sec Video clip Ephesus Part II with J.Bach Air on the D String, from Orchestral Suite No.4.

Curetes is a street name after the semi god and semi goddesses and later referred to a class of priests. It is located in the middle of the city. You can walk the Curetes from Heracles Gate to Celcus Library with a distance of about one kilometre. The street is decorated by important monumental structures like Hercules, Trajan Fountain the Hadrian Temple or the statue without a head.

 Curetes Street by JLBG
Sidewalks were protected from the sun under galleries held by decorated columns. Shops had their door opening in the gallery. The soil was decorated with mosaics. Most of Curetes street was built in the IIIth AD
Several earthquakes hit Ephesus and there does not remain much more of the buildings that framed Curetes street than the base of the columns. Leave a Comment
