Ephesus's history goes back. W-A-Y back.
It's origins involve myths and legends. Facts can date it to before 700BC.
It is one of the 7th wonders of the world and a UNESCO World heritage site since 2015.
Ephesus is located on the western shores of modern day Turkiye, where the Aegean Sea meets the former estuary of the River Kaystros. At one time it was considered the most important Greek trading centre in the Mediterranean. At another time it was the Roman Empire's capital of their province in Asia. It was considered second only to Rome as a cosmopolitan centre for culture and commerce and was one of the most populated and affluent cities in the world.
