Visitors can explore many reconstructed structures and ruins, including the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - Situated atop Bulbul Mountain, the House of Mother Mary is just 6 km from the Ancient City of Ephesus. It is believed that Mother Mary spent her final years here. According to Catholic tradition, after Jesus’ crucifixion, St. John the Apostle brought Mother Mary from Jerusalem to Ephesus. The house’s foundation is based on the visions of Anna Catherine Emmerich and was discovered in 1891. Although it had collapsed due to an earthquake, it was rebuilt as a church and visited by Pope Paul VI in 1967 and Pope John Paul II in 1979, and is recognized as a pilgrimage site.

• Public Latrine - The ruins of the ancient Roman city of Ephesus are located in Selcuk, Turkey. During the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, it was the Roman Empire’s second most important city. A popular section of the ruins is the Public Latrine, situated next to the Hadrian Temple and the Bordello. Built in the 1st century AD as part of the Scholastica Baths, these public toilets provided modern conveniences, including 36 marble toilets. Visitors can view, but not use, the toilets lined along the walls. An uncovered pool with columns supported a wooden ceiling, and a drainage system lay beneath the latrines. A trough with relatively clean water was available near the foot area. An entrance fee was required to use the toilets.
