The House of the Virgin Mary is nestled in the Aladag Mountains, 5 miles from Ephesus. During the third Ecumenical Council in 431 AD in Ephesus, it was asserted that Mary arrived in Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and resided there until her passing in 48 A.D. Following the house’s discovery, the Archbishop of Kusadasi declared it a pilgrimage site in 1892. On July 26, 1967, Pope Paul VI visited and prayed at this sacred place.

• The Temple of Artemis - The Story of the Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis is a rare and magnificent creation dedicated to the Goddess Artemis. Like many iconic structures, it has its own tale. Artemis, known as the moon goddess and Apollo’s sister, is depicted in ancient Greece’s polytheistic beliefs as a figure with extraordinary powers. In mythology, Artemis is also described as a virgin Greek goddess. Unlike other Greek goddesses, Artemis is portrayed as a figure in Egyptian civilizations. She was also depicted on coins minted during that era. The Temple of Artemis was designed by the Greek architect Chershpron under the commission of the Lydian King Croesus and was a gift to Artemis.
