Esphesus Turkey

The city of Esphesus was originally built as an ancient Greek city.  It lies on the west coast of Antolia in the region known as classical Greece in present day Turkey.  Later the city was taken by the Romans and was mostly rebuilt by Emporer Constintene I.  But unfortuanly most of his work was destroyed by an earthquake in 614 A.D. The city is famed for the Temple of Artimus which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.  The city is iconic for the front façade of the Celsus Library near the main gate to the city.  The Library remnants are in ruins, but the front façade has been saved from destruction due to the efforts of residents in the area.
