• Ephesus Terrace Houses - The Terrace Houses complex in Ephesus features luxurious residential villas located on the northern slope of Bülbüldağı Hill, adjacent to Curetes Street and opposite the Temple of Hadrian. Two housing complexes, Eastern and Western, have been excavated. They were constructed according to the Hippodamian plan, where roads intersect at right angles. Excavation of the Terrace Houses began in 1960, and restoration is ongoing, offering new discoveries each year.
• The Temple of Artemis - Artemis, the Greek goddess, was the virginal huntress and twin of Apollo, who succeeded the Titan Selene as Goddess of the Moon.

The ancient temple, built around 650 BC for the cult of Artemis, was erected on a site already sacred to the Anatolian Mother Goddess, Cybele. Financed by the wealthy king of Lydia, the marshy ground was chosen for construction to guard against future earthquakes.

Over time, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times due to natural disasters.
