- Virgin Mary’s House - Nestled in the Aladağ Mountains, just 5 miles from Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary is a revered pilgrimage site.

On July 26, 1967, Pope Paul VI visited and prayed at this sacred site, enhancing its global significance.
- The Temple of Artemis - Once listed among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was a grand sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Artemis, the guardian of women and fertility.
