In the 1st century AD, Ephesus was the second-largest city globally after Rome, with over 250,000 residents. It served as a central hub between the East and the West. It also houses one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that walking through its ancient streets among stunning monuments, such as the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theatre on the Asian continent, feels like traveling back in time.

Today, only the foundation and one column remain of this temple, which once measured 425 feet long and 220 feet wide. Paul’s successful ministry in this city was seen as a threat to this temple. The city reached its Golden Age and became a cultural and artistic model for the ancient world.
