Ephesus

Ephesus was the second-largest city of the Roman Empire — a metropolis of 250,000 people and the commercial gateway between East and West for more than a thousand years. Today it is the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean: the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre where Saint Paul preached, the Terrace Houses (the Pompeii of the East) and the Temple of Artemis — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
