One will feel small and in awe of the megalithic architecture here when walking on marble floors, surrounded by huge structures. The 'Holy City' Hierapolis, where gods might have once walked... Some of them are in ruins, some in tact. The energy is definitely an exciting step back in time!

Would you believe this was once one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world ud83eudd37‍♂ufe0fnnToday it's really more of a turtle sanctuary ud83eudd23ud83eudd23ud83eudd23 The sign posted up next to these columns talked about how this temple was once fantastically huge buuuuuut now it's just a few columns and a ancient mosaic floor (covered in water from the recent rains)nnI would imagine this puddle of water is here most of the year because there's a huge turtle population hanging out doing turtle stuff. Even a few gease were hanging out here that my favorite street dog named 305 decided to chase down and give them them the scare of a lifetime hahaha ud83eudd86ud83dudc15ud83dudca8nnCrazy to me that these ruins are just in the backyards of random Turkish people's houses. Astonishing really ud83eudd2fud83eudd2fud83eudd2f

Almost nothing left. Hard to even imagine what it used to be other than the size. It's free, so that should tell you something. But it was one of the 7 ancient wonders, so take a quick look.

The Temple of Artemis or Artemision (Greek: Ἀρτεμίσιον; Turkish: Artemis Tapınağı), also known less precisely as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to an ancient, local form of the goddess Artemis (associated with Diana, a Roman goddess). It was located in Ephesus (near the modern town of Selçuk in present-day Turkey). It was completely rebuilt twice, once after a devastating flood and three hundred years later after an act of arson, and in its final form was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. By 401 AD it had been ruined or destroyed.[1] Only foundations and fragments of the last temple remain at the site.nnThe earliest version of the temple (a temenos) antedated the Ionic immigration by many years, and dates to the Bronze Age. Callimachus, in his Hymn to Artemis, attributed it to the Amazons. In the 7th century BC, it was destroyed by a flood. Its reconstruction, in more grandiose form, began around 550 BC, under Chersiphron, the Cretan architect, and his son Metagenes. The project was funded by Croesus of Lydia, and took 10 years to complete. This version of the temple was destroyed in 356 BC by Herostratus in an act of arson.nnThe next, greatest and last form of the temple, funded by the Ephesians themselves, is described in Antipater of Sidon's list of the world's Seven Wonders.

An historical location dating back to ancient times where cities rose and fell and power was the main stay. Gives the opportunity to feel the livestyle and architectural mindset of old.
