The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, located near Selçuk in Turkey, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built in the 6th century BC and dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, it was known for its massive size and grandeur. Unfortunately, today only a few ruins and remnants remain of this once magnificent structure, which was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times due to fire and invasion. Despite its physical absence, the Temple of Artemis continues to be remembered as a symbol of ancient architectural and cultural achievement.
