The Historical Background of Ephesus

We can hear you questioning what makes Ephesus so special, like the only game in town?

Here is your answer: Ephesus diverges from the other antique cities and becomes unique of its kind because of the strict protection in force. Building is not allowed within the borders of the antique city.

Firstly, it is believed that the city was built by Kroisos-the Lydian King and dedicated to Artemis- the Priapus goddess.

Also, it is said that it took almost 120 years to build this massive city and it became the capital of the Hellenistic Period and one of the most important centers of the said period because of its closeness to the harbors and crucial location.

The Importance of Ephesus for Christianity

Apart from its historical importance, Ephesus also has special meaning for Christianity.

According to the claims, the Holy Bible was written by St. John and mother Mary closed her eyes to the world in this antique city.

Despite hosting 1,5 million people approx. every year from different countries all around the world, that is the reason why a great majority of these guests consist of Christian people.
