The Temple of Artemis
A single column and some stone fragments are all that's left of The Temple of Artemis, the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The spot where the temple stood was recognized for its sanctity by numerous civilizations, including the Lydians, the Greeks, and the Romans. In fact, it was one of the most popular pilgrimage sites of Antiquity. Legend has it that the Amazons build the earliest temple here, as they worshipped Artemis as their chief deity. Throughout the centuries the temple was destroyed and rebuilt many times before finally being ransacked by the Goths in 268 CE; today, little remains of the original temple. Admission to the site is free. Add The Temple of Artemis to your Selcuk travel itinerary, and discover new vacation ideas by using our Selcuk day trip planning site .

Worth checking out because of the history, but sadly not much left. Looks nothing like a full temple portrayed when searching through Google search. Beware of people selling false ancient items such as coins to make money.

What remains today of this ancient wonder is a very worn down, not very well maintained ruin. Even the entry is something very unimaginative compared to the other places in Ephesus. Nevertheless, its still a part of my Must Do list in Ephesus only cause of the history and it being a part of the Ancient Wonders of the World.

Incredible example and absolutely worth a visit. If you're in the region, well worth taking the time to explore. Note, there is limited shade, so make sure you have a hat or umbrella for some protection on hotter days.
