    The Temple of Hadrian, located on the street of the Curettes that leads to the Library of Celsus, is one of the best-preserved structures in Ephesus. The temple was constructed by P.Quintilius between 118-138 A.D. and was dedicated to the emperor Hadrian. Look for the two friezes flanking the portals. They represent scenes from the foundation of Ephesus, and include figures of deities and Amazons.

    This Corinthian style architecture is the Temple of Hadrian located in Curetes street. It is small in structure compare to other edifices but beautiful and well preserved. The temple was built by Quintilius around 118 AD to dedicate Emperor Hadrian and renovated in fifth century. From the frontal view they are four Corinthian columns and inside the temple on top of the archway could be Medusa holding ornaments of acanthus leaves and her snake’s hair. Do not look at her you might turn to stone. On her opposite on the wall are other mythological figures. Next to the temple there’s stairs which lead to the Scholastica baths which was created in the fourth century.

    Hadrian's Temple

    Hadrian's Temple is one of the most popular of the ruins located in Ephesus. In fact it is one of the most famous images of Turkey, often being reproduced in travel brocheres. The temple was built in the 2nd century A.D. in the Corinthian style. It consists of a cella and a porch. The facade of the porch is supported by two piers and two columns with an arch at the centre top. Although you can not see it here because of the shadow, there is a relief of Tyche at the keystone of the arch. However you can see the image of the Medusa beyond the facade in the lunette over the entrance to the cella. There are many other quality friezes within the temple that are worth seeing. In fact it is here that I seemed to find the most crowded section of Ephesus.

    The Hadrian's Temple is one of the buildings on the main street of Ephesos, that was rather perfectely reconstructed with its typical arches.

  • Directions: The temple of Artemis is on the right side of the main street , about halfway between the upper entrance and the beautiful Ephesus library.

    This is another pic of the Hadrian's temple, so you may see the dimensions and great columns. Directely behind the temple is still a big hill of un-explored area and it could easily be, thast the rest of the temple will be found there one day. Excavations are taking a long time unfortunately and other parts of town will need it more urgently.

    I'm not your guide ;-) Ruins, I'm a lousy story teller. So, make sure you get the best guide available! Here's the Temple of Hadrian. Said to be a "Corinthian temple from 2nd century & a peerless specimen of Roman architecture"! Well, a number of emperors & goddesses are depicted on the reliefs... & I've forgotten who they were, lol... if I remembered correctly, there's Athena, Artemis, Constantine & Theodosius.

    Theodosius restored this temple in 391 A.D and opened it to the public in honour of his father General Theodosius who was hanged innocently. The ruins in front of the temple belonged to the the rich. The little sculptures of Medusa and other's on the second wall is really fantastic and worth a closer look
