Ancient City of Ephesus
Ephesus (Efes) is one of the greatest ancient sites in the Mediterranean. During its heyday in the first century BC, it was the second-largest city in the world, with only Rome commanding more power. Many reconstructed structures and ruins, including the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, can be seen here.
Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)
The House of Mother Mary is located at the top of the Bulbul mountain and it’s only 6 km away from the Ancient City of Ephesus. It is believed that The Mother Mary spent her last years in this shrine. According to Catholic Christianity, After the Crucifixion of Jesus, Mother Mary was brought from Jerusalem to Ephesus by St. John the apostle to live. The foundation of the house is based on Anna Catherine Emmerich’s visions and was founded in 1891. When they found the house, was already collapsed by the earthquake. After The House of Virgin Mary was re-built as a church and has been visited by Pope Paul VI in 1967 and Pope John Paul II in 1979, has been registered as a place of pilgrimage.
